Never fished down here before, or for Mahi, so I don't know how many people normally bring in? I loved it, great experience!

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.

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!

Fishing is fishingโฆโฆ.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.

Bring a towel, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, food. They have drinks and fruit. You cannot wear your shoes with sand on the boat so if you want to fish in shoes bring another pair. Not sure if there is a bathroom on boat but I doubt it.

Watch the weather especially the wind. Nobody likes rough seas. Even though the fishing can be best with rough seas.

Be prepared for being out in the sun all day, and make sure you don't get seasick! It's not a huge boat, so the swells can really get you if you don't have a strong stomach.

The options are endless but I had only one species as my target fish. Be advised that it is difficult to fish during the rainy season but we managed to make a successful day out of very difficult conditions!
Let your captain know ahead of time what your preferred target fish are. Listen to what he recommendsโ he is the one that fishes daily!! Make your plans in advance and enjoy your trip!

Fishing is always an unknown...took a while for us to get some hits, but the crew didn't waste time in areas that weren't working, they moved to other areas and tried other types of lures. They did whatever they could to help us catch some fish. They'll also do as little or as much as you want. We like to cast and reel in ourselves, but if you aren't an accomplished fisherman, they can do everything up to hooking it and then turn it over to you for the hard work!

If you want massive fish, you have to go deep. If you're going for meat you can pull from shallow water, if you want pictures and a fight spend the money and go 20 miles out
