Not what we hoped for. I booked a 5 hour trip for my son and I to fish and catch at least a few to make ceviche or tacos. I set the expectation low. We went out pretty far past the islands to troll and throw lures repeatedly into water. Right before we departed, the captain told us what fish were โbeing caughtโ since the water had a cold current come through.
Well, after nothing for a long while and my son being a fisherman himself, casting out many times on his own. The crew could have put a live bait on his lure. However, they had put relive bait maybe on two lures they had on the back of the boat.
We landed on a school of tuna. Not sierra. My son had the fish hitting his lure about 8 times and not one hit. He cast multiple times into the school.ย The waters were very choppy from the winds picking up and after more than three hours in, I chose to salvage what we had left of our day. We were told that on the radio other boats were having similar experiences.
We know the captain spoke with our crew over the phone asking about our experience and he learned how we didnโt want to continue. My son was disappointed and upset how we spent so much money and felt it was a waste of our day.
When we returned to the beach in front of the business location, the captain was gone and there was no one to speak with directly for any reparation. I am only recommending this type of trip during calmer weather for a better opportunity of fish.
We saw whales, a turtle, maybe a shark, Mariettaโs, and my son and I were on the water experiencing together. The crew was kind and experienced. The captain, however could have offered a shorter trip knowing what we were going to head into.
