Although there’s no guarantee you will catch fish, hence why it’s called fishing - not catching, but PV is as close to a guarantee as you will get. Get out on the water and have some fun!

Communicate with your captain and crew on what you're looking to catch so they can rig the lines for it.

Probably not the best time to fish for Marlin or tuna, but we caught tons of other fish

We had a great time and caught more than 5 fish, two at the peak of their size. I was so grateful was Capt was able to release the fish and yet still get my fish mount set up for me. Super easy and professional. The water was like glass, the weather was perfect, we saw whales and dolphins that even swam right up alongside our boat. Totally blessed trip!

Definitely do the 12 hour trip! Takes 1.5 minimum to get out of the bay and back. We went about 40 miles out. Bring food and drinks! Also bring Dramamine

March is a tough time of year for fishing here from what I’ve gathered but if you do a little research and talk with the captains and be realistic in your expectations of a fishing trip you’ll have a great time and catch fish!

41 pesos per person going on the boat. Budget ~$2,000 USD for taxidermy for a Marlin. Be prepared - not every trip catches big game, there were other boats out that didn't catch anything while we caught ours.

In February, Sunscreen and a light jacket before sunrise! Don't forget snacks. They provide ice and bottled water. You can bring other drinks on board.

Go out a little longer, not just 4 hours. Get to go further with better chances of landing larger fish!

Learn about the seasons and expect that things can change unexpectedly with regard to local weather patterns or things like La Nina. If the captain recommends a different location than the one you planned for, you might want to listen so you have a better chance of catching fish.
