Trip Summary

The morning started windy but we still decided to go out and try our luck. We started trolling but after a while we decided to bottom fish to have better chances, because I already knew a place where there where going to be triggerfish. Everyone caught their own fish, and after a while we had about 6 triggerfish. The little boy was very excited because he caught the biggest of them all and fought a lot to get it into the boat! We ended the trip a little sooner than expected because of the wind that started to rise up a little and a little seasickness started to kick in. Once back at the beach I cleaned and prepped the fish so they could take it back to their hotel and have a nice meal.

55 pound amberjack!

A few days ago the weather was great and we wanted to go after a big one. Our first catch was a bonito, delicious but not really big. After 15 min we got a tight line, Stephanie did her best and reeled in a good sized amberjack. We had assured the dinner! When we decided to try one last time, a huge one bit, you could feel it on the line. The fight was rough but Stephanie´s son did great. The amberjack was huge, approximately 55 pounds. After the trip they enjoyed the freshly cooked catch at the local restaurant and took another big filet back home to enjoy for dinner

We met Rey at the beach, he had a short and a shirt with the images of Mahi Mahi. On the boat we talked and he told me that he had never caught Mahi Mahi, 10-15 min into the trip we caught the first one. After just one minute we caught the second one! After a while Rey said that there was a shark near the boat, when I looked I realized it was a huge blue marlin that was swimming next to the boat! As we joked that day, the blue Marlin came by to say hello. We continued trolling and after a few minutes, the third one bit! Then again, after a few minutes we caught two at the same time. At the end of the trip we had caught 7 Mahi Mahi, we released two of them.I cleaned the fish and a restaurant near the beach prepared the fish for Rey to enjoy. It was an excellent Mahi Mahi day.
