Very enjoyable being on the water w Captain Jack and crew
Your a great man mark. We enjoyed your company and having johnny catch some of his first fish! See you again soon.
I corresponded with an English speaker, who I assume was the owner of the boat, who did not indicate to me that when I arrived at the boat, the โcaptainโ duny and the mate pop both spoke zero English. Thank god I had my Spanish fluent friend with me who translated, even though the crew were both reluctant to speak with us at all. I had requested to the English speaking owner that we DO NOT TROLL many times in the lead up to the trip, and clearly this wasnโt communicated as we trolled aimlessly in circles for 5 hours, despite me asking at least 3 times throughout this duration for us to drop on a wreck, to which the captain straight up denied. During this time I also fixed the boatโs fish finder which was literally showing a blank screen, and to which the captain explicitly asked us to fix since he โdidnโt know how it workedโ. We caught 4 tiny king mackerel over this 5 hour period, after which I couldnโt take it anymore and demanded to the captain that we stop, after my friend relayed to me that the โcaptainโ and mate were arguing about which direction to drive the boat. I asked to drop on a rock pile or a wreck, or any sort of structure, to which the โcaptainโ responded that he only knew about ONE wreck that was too shallow to fish on. How is it possible that a knowledgeable captain only knows about ONE wreck in an entire region. I said screw it and weโd jig on a dropoff, to which the captain shrugged and responded that we wouldnโt catch anything after my friend translated to him. WITHIN 30 seconds of dropping a jig, Iโd hooked up to an Amberjack. Upon a couple re-drifts over the next hour, we caught another 3 jacks to which the captain sheepishly grinned to me when I threw my hands up in exasperation at our previous fruitless trolling.

Hey there Mate, the region wahoo are in this time of year is far to the north. Meaning there isnt many wrecks or good bottom fishing. Seems communication was a issue here.The office indicated the morning you would be trolling to get into the bigger wahoo. We have three boats with similar equipment on them. CAPT Duny is extremely knowledgeable in the Caribbean waters off the coast of colombian with over 40 years fishing there waters. If you wanted a jigging trip or bottom fishing that would have to be stated from the beginning. The follow up after the trip you said it was a great trip and asked for suggestions of resturants to cook up catchโฆ...... no amber Jackโs in our regionโฆ bar Jackโs and black jacksโฆ.. Cheer up mate.

Went out with CartagenaFishing. We hooked up with kingfish and a screaming wahoo.Great trip. Scheduling the trip was easy really came through when the weather went south the day of the trip and quickly arranged for us to get our the next day. Highly recommend these guys!
Good Job driving the boat! Im glad we all had a memorable time! Super excited to hear from you about the way the fish came out in the smoker! Tight lines
My friends and I had a great trip with Captain John. Unfortunately the fishing wasnโt great, but we had a fun time and John was professional and a great Captain
Some days drag forsure. Thanks for the great review. We really appreciate you taking the time with us. Best, Capt J
