We had the best time with Sam and Josh!ย It was early in the morning and my kids were way more quiet than usual, but we all had a great time and we caught a bunch of fish!ย I loved their professionalism and how they made the effort to talk to all of us and make us feel comfortable.ย We are already planning our next trip.
This was the perfect surprise gift for my husband. The whole group loved the crew. So personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. We caught plenty of Spanish Mackerel to have fish tacos for dinner! This time frame was perfect for us parents with school aged kids. We were so lucky to see sea turtles, dolphins, and the wild horses.
We had a good time! First time out, so I didnโt know what to expect! We trolled around caught a few fish.
Captain found us 73 degree water and a ship wreck to fish around and thatโs where we found lots of fish. The Captain and First Mate were friendly and asked about our comfort often. We had a blast reeling them in and canโt wait to go back with them again.
Upon arrival the boat was prepared for sports fishing. I spoke with Capt. Sam the day before to confirm our bottom fishing trip. Capt. Sam convinced us that the bill fishing was great and that if the bill fish were not there that we would be in a great place to bottom fish. The boat was slow. Took 2.5 hours to travel 28 miles if flat seas. Lines were set, after about 6 hours only a few lines went off only one fish staying on to fight. It was a nice Wahoo. At the end of the sports fishing. 2 lines went off. A small sail fish was hooked and seen. The other line continued to peel off. One line went limp, fish got off, and we continued to fight the other line. The Crew was convinced that it was the sail fish still on. When the fish was landed it was a barracuda. So now we were going to bottom fish. The Captain could not put us on any place that was productive. Spent most of our time riding. The Captain knew his vessel and provided a safe trip. However I would not want to take mixed family out as 1 Crew member started drinking around lunch. No working bathroom. Cramped accommodations for 7 adults with 3 of these being crew.

Unfortunately itโs called fishing not catching! our bill fish bite has been world class the past couple weeks, but that still does not guarantee you catch one.generally when the current is going backwards the bottom fish do not bite well . we must have caught some fish on your first trip because we did not hear any complaints after ., . Also Captain sam had tried to reach you for several days prior to the trip with no answer or no return phone call . As for the speed of the boat. We have two boats at two different price points you picked the cheaper boat so it is slower. Do you go to the car dealership and buy a Honda and complain that itโs not a Ferrari? Because weโve got both and you chose the Honda .thanks for the great review!
