SAILFISH ON BOARD

September 20, 2023

The clients told me on the trip that they wanted to catch something big because they fished in Texas in lakes and had little experience in the open sea, we decided to play big game and started fishing, 5 minutes after we put the lines in the water the fish bit first mahi mahi, then he bit another mahi mahi, and we decided to move to another area, 20 minutes after trolling he finally bit the sailfish so I suggested that we still had time to stop at a local beach to have his fish cooked and make a little sorquel, we had an excellent day.

THE MAHI MAHI ARE BITING

Today we had a lot of action, we were sailing for 2 hours until we reached the point where we would start fishing, in the first 2 hours of trolling we caught 2 mahi mahi, after that point we headed northeast, finally we found the schools of mahi mahi, We started to have a lot of bites. In the end we caught 12 mhi mahi, a lot of action.

I had a mission to look for mahi mahi, or a sailfish, after an hour and a half we finally found it, we fought it for 40 minutes until it got tired and finally we were able to get it on board, the client was very happy. We continued fishing, they also bit some albacores.

The waters at Corbetana are vibrant blue and teaming with fish. Inside the bay the bite is definitely on as well.

Set your fishing expectations early & also allow for some species flexibility if your priority catch isn’t interested in coming home with you that day. It’s called fishing, not catching, for a reason.

Read negative reviews with a grain of salt; it's not the Captain or deck hands fault if the day of fishing proves unsuccessful; do your research on lunar and tidal schedules to maximize your experience. Bring more drinks than you anticipate needing. Be in the moment; your phone can be put on airplane mode and still be used for pictures. Videos can be paused and screenshots can be taken later; don't focus on trying to capture the perfect picture.

I believe June is considered a slower month. The fishing was slow until the end when the captain switched to live bait and did a great job figuring out what the fish were wanting. Next time we’ll come in November for comparison.

They fish for most of the deep sea species the same way, 6 hour inside the bay was great you can also get a longer trip and go further out with more possibility of catching larger fish.

Go with expectations in not catching nothing in hopes to catch a lot of fish!

It was a great trip for first timer or seasond fisherman. I was here in early April on spring break trip with my family. If I was booking a fishing vacation I would book when water temps are up. Lots of bait in the water and wildlife was abundant.
