We forgot a long sleeve shirt for the boys in the am. But the chill wore off quick as the day heated up

Bring your catch to Eddies place, they did a fantastic job of cooking the fish that we caught and it was a short water taxi ride from the marina.

Smaller boat at 25’ but worked well for us. We were a group of 5 so maybe a bit tight for that many but we had a good time with lots of fish.

Rooster were not as active as I would have thought, but the mahi mahi were really biting. Next time I will just focus on Mahi Mahi.

Check the fishing reports to see what’s biting to make sure your fishing for what you want to be catching.

Sit back and relax. It takes time for fish to bite. I’m the meantime, whale watch, look for turtles swimming by, enjoy the scenery, and immerse in the experience.

If you realy just want to catch fishs,target the species that are active at the time you're there or just go and try to get lucky and have fun.

Second time out with no luck. Not going to try again. I have better ways to spend my hard earned money.

If you’re looking to catch a certain fish, call them to discuss the best time of the year .

We caught fish but it was slow. Can't say for sure what would be the best time of year.

Might be worth your effort to share a boat with friends and get a large craft to reach the big boys

Hot and humid. Was told it was the off-season for fishing but still was worth going
