Great trip with my kids
Excellent trip today. We booked a five hour trip for my family. Myself, my 14-year-old daughter and my 12 year-old son made it to the boat just prior to 7 AM, with a cab ride from our resort. You could easily buy fishing licenses, right where the boat was, and you can buy extra bait if you need to (this is good for feeding the seals at end of day if you have extra… kids favourite part). About half the time was spent fishing in a really good spot and the other half of the time was spent getting there and back with the fishing rods in the water. It is nice because the scenery is beautiful and you’re hoping for a bite. But when you finally do get into them… It’s awesome. We caught four Dorados, two of them were quite big and pretty fun. We had a marlin on the line for a minute or two unfortunately it broke off.. Our guide Chino was awesome. Super friendly, hustled his butt off to make everything just right, showed us what to do and helped us with all the gear. He hooked into the fish and gave us the rod while we brought the fish in. I understand now why a lot of of these fishing boats want you to do eight hours. We were catching fish and things were going great but we had to go back. Three more hours in the honey hole would’ve probably landed more fish and a marlin I bet. We saw a Marlin swim under the boat, we saw a guy right beside us with a marlin on (confirmed on the spectacular jump) and we had a marlin for a minute. They’re out there!! It’s cool. Little more time… for sure! Great memories for the family. Thank you to the crew for a safe and good journey.
