The Captain and Mate both were very experienced. The boat was well equipped. The mate was very helpful with batting hooks and landing fish. We caught more than 50 fish , ten different species and they did a great job of cleaning the fish and packaging them for us at the dock.
We spent a full-day charter aboard the remodeled 40' Luhrs Express out of Marathon and had an outstanding trip. Captain Joel and his mates used live bait and state-of-the-art gear to keep us on fish, and their no-fish–no-pay policy gave us great confidence. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped — walk-in head, fighting chair, and plenty of cover from the wind — and the crew cleaned and bagged our catch at the dock. Friendly, professional, and highly recommended for anglers and families looking for a productive, comfortable day on the water.
We enjoyed our fishing experience thr Ana Banana crew. This was our first time fishing in the ocean so we went with the reef/wreck option. We caught lots of fish. The crew was helpful and easy to work with. Aside from lots of snapper, we also reeled in a barracuda and a shark! My kids and I loved it!
We came to fish! 20knot winds had 4 charters cancelled…. Ana Banna said “LETS GOOO” We are leaving today with a pile for the freezer. Joel and Shawn were everything you would hope for a Charter Capt. and Mate. I think we hooked into just about every species in the gulf. Had a blast!!
Went for an offshore trip and absolutely crushed the mahi. All keepers - probably a dozen maybe more. Captain Joel and first mate Roger did an amazing job keeping the boat steady in pretty decent seas and kept us on the fish all day. Will definitely return
thanks
I had originally booked with Ana Banana, but he called me Monday night to say he had major engine failure the day before. Instead of canceling, he hooked me up with another fisher. that guy, Captain Richard, got my party right on the Black fin Tuna and then got us on for Mahi. Best trip I have every had. Thanks
