Captain Luis was so friendly and informative during our trip. He taught us how to properly hold the rod and how to reel in a way that would not leave us too tired. It was a slow start (not his fault at all, that’s the nature of fishing), but he worked so hard to make sure we got on some fish. We caught a grouper, multiple snappers, and multiple barracudas. My son caught two very large barracudas and it left him with an enormous smile on his face. This is something he/ I will never ever forget. It was an incredible experience and created memories that will last a lifetime. Truly so thankful for this opportunity, and it wasn’t possible without captain luis. Highly recommend him to everybody!!

We started out trolling for tuna, after about 45 minutes of nothing, Luis switched gears and we drift fished for Spanish Mackerel.  We slayed it.  Every couple of minutes we had a good fight and landed a decent fish.  One of the boys got seasick in the rolling swell and the other started to turn green so we headed inshore to flat water looking for Tarpon.  Luis moved the boat to several different spots but didn’t get anything.  It wasn’t for lack of trying though.  Luis really tried to get us on the fish.  It wasn’t a pretty great trip!

OUR DAY WAS PERFECT! Luis and his mate Danny were amazing. Absolutely book your trip with them no matter what fish you’re going for!! I messaged a week out to ask about best day based in weather and Luis was responsive and flexible. On the boat they were fun, played good music, chatted about catches, pets, sightseeing and good local spots to hike and check out cool caves.

My nephew just turned 16 and he caught a Mahi Mahi once before and was dyin to get another because “it was the best fish he ever ate”. Any captain said the season is near its end but Luis and Danny know what they’re doing. they use the birds, seaweed, and floating wood to find the flying fish which hopefully leads to Mahi Mahi. We got the line bit off 3 times by barracuda and then brought one on board for a pic. The next two hours were slow but still fun to enjoy the cruise. Then - BOOM! We hit hard! Four Mahi Mahi on board in a matter of 15 minutes!!! It was exhilarating!!!

For photos Luis positioned us for some cool pics on the boat on our way out. On the way back we did the same with our haul in hand. Luis had a GoPro and took some cool under water photos and pics of the Mahi Mahi jumping in the air before bringing on board. He sent me these a bit after we finished.

Back on the dock we met up with Kabela the dock kitty and her son that we dubbed Oreo for his black and white colors. They were the sweetest cats patiently waiting for scraps. We also fed the Mahi Mahi skin to some good sized Tarpons which was fun to watch.

Top it all off, they pulled out soy and wasabi and cut out some meat near the bones for instant sashimi! It was DELICIOUS!

Back at our Airbnb we cooked up a filet (one for 3 people) and enjoyed an amazing dinner. We have just enough fish for us to enjoy the rest of the trip with the 3 fish we took (gave one to Luis and his dad that met us on the dock).

Capt took us through the bay to the canals in search of tarpon. We anchored near the mangroves and could see the swirling near the boat teasing us. We finally hooked into a smaller one, about 2 feet in length. My son had a blast reeling him in. We hung around a bit longer and hooked into a monster! Once it took the bait the reel started screaming as it took line. My son was struggled for a good fifteen minutes before landing it along side the boat with the Captain’s help. It was close to 4 foot long and Capt estimated it weighed between 50-60 lbs as he had 2 hands on it mouth lifting it up along side the boat! So much fun!!
