Hit and miss but the big days are big and the slow days are slow. You need to keep at it. Lots of fish out there! You can literally see them bubbling in the water.

Great for first time fishers for sure. Though, our group members had all fished before, he was very patient and could not see a problem.

I would recommend a full day if you can do it so you can do inshore fishing and off shore.

Communicate with the captain before going fishing so they can make sure and bring all the supplies you want or need for the type of fish you are wanting to catch (pending what is biting). Also if you’re staying at a resort, they may not have breakfast ready until after you’ve left to go fishing so as your captain if they can bring breakfast, drinks and so on.

I’d definitely recommend a full day fishing trip. (9 Hours) In my opinion it’s worth it especially with a group

Full day might be too much for young children, but you are there to catch big fish and sometimes it takes the full day trip.

It gets very windy later in the morning/afternoon, so the earlier you start the better off you will be.

The water was alive, very vibrant, with lots to see including fish, dolphins, snakes, birds and turtle. We were not bored at all. The fishing was good, 3 on the boat in the morning. Would definitely fish again if we return!

The fish can run early, sunrise is 5:30am- if the captain tells you to show up an hour early, show up an hour early.

Fishing is fishing…….some days are great, some tougher. No client should EXPECT to have epic days everytime out. Having a good boat, captain, and crew is always the best start.

I took 3 trips with different charters/captains, Salty Adventures, Papi Chulo and El Gato III. In my opinion Salty Adventures was best without question and I do not recommend El Gato III.
