Met Capt JC (Juan Carlos) 6:25AM at the marina for a full day trip with my son (14yrs old). He walked us over to the fishing license desk, and covered our 2 licenses as advertised. We then boarded his boat the Carolina which was exactly as described on the website. The boat is a bit aged, but super clean and a very comfortable ride. Onboard was 2 mates who joined us, and they were both super friendly, helpful, skilled, and accommodating. We left the marina, and within 20 minutes, we had multiple lines out trolling nice live bait at one of the closer reefs. We successfully caught a few skipjack tunas, and lost a beautiful very large mahi, (they call them dorados here in Cabo). Because of the mahi hookup, Capt JC and crew switched up the entire spread, to mahi lures, and put out the outriggers as well. Within 2 minutes we had a full spread of about 6 rods out. We trolled around, got hit by a sailfish for about 10 seconds, and then it spit the hook 😢. Capt made the call to go to one of his Marlin spots, and once again changed up the entire spread to larger trolling lures to target the marlin. My son hooked up onto an approx 300 lb Marlin and fought it for about 45 mins. We had the marlin pretty close to the boat, and unfortunately we lost it in the end. It happens. If you're looking for a great Capt who cares enough to switch up his technique, and try multiple spots the entire trip in order to put you on fish, then this is the guy! We had an amazing day out there with the entire crew, and I'd recommend them to anyone who loves to fish. Although we did not land the monster mahi, or the incredibly massive Marlin, we had an amazing day! Thank you gentlemen for an awesome experience with my son.
