Went out with Rambo and crew last week and had a great time.
Our group of five (me, wife, 3 kids under 14) signed up for an 8 hour fishing expedition. We knew starting off that it was not marlin season but that some were biting, and we were going to give it a go. We started off on the coastline and hooked into a couple of rooster fish, one was landed, other got off the line. Tried to get some more roosters for about 30 minutes and they were not biting. At that point the captain suggest we head further offshore and try for some marlin or wahoo.
After 4 hours or so of trolling, nothing, not even a nibble. Kids were getting frustrated; wife and I were on pins and needles as this was all for the kids and we really wanted them to catch something. I spoke with one of the mates, Poncho and said, I do not care what we catch, but we need to get these kids on something. Within 2 minutes he had a huddle with Rambo, came back and said, we have a little spot we know for some bottom fishing, and we are sure we can get these kids on some fish. So, we pulled in the riggers and started hauling ass over to their spot.
Within 5 minutes of getting to the honey hole, we started landing sea bass, grouper and one large snapper. At one point we even hooked onto a baby mako shark that the kids went crazy over. The last 2 hours we spent bottom fishing was some of the most fun I have ever had on the water. While these were not huge fish, they were great for the kids to catch.
After catching many fish, we pulled up and headed for home. While on the way the crew fileted the fish and by the time we got back to the dock, everything was in zip lock bags and ready to go. We went straight to a local restaurant we found during the week and the owner cooked us up the most delicious fish dishes we have ever eaten.
This crew went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day and we could not be happier.
