Can't say we got false advertising for deep sea fishing but did not get deep sea fishing instead we got a boat ride and some sailing.

2 hour trip is reasonable price to get out on water and catch reef fish.... big stuff you wanna go half day at least.

It’s windy and can be rough. We knew we wanted to jig fish. It is not standard trolling

Yes, remember no Bananas and definitely get a sea sick patch and apply it night before.

We didn’t catch anything and didn’t see bait balls either. Bad day I guess.

If you are coming here to catch fish, August thru October tend to be more productive.

Winter fishing season has its calm days but be prepared to work hard on a rough day.

Longer trip, spend more time on the water, deep sea probably better than bottom fishing.

Yes but keep an eye on the weather and prepare yourself for larger swells than you are used to

Probably for a first timer, bottom fishing would be better. Trolling is feast or famine.

Bring lots of money and take a marlin charter or fish from shore, like I see the locals doing.

Take a shorter trip before jumping in big. This trip would be good for kids greater than 12

Do your homework and understand the season availability of the species you are targeting.
