We booked the full day fishing tour for 2 people for September 24th. We got started promptly in the morning and bought some live baits on our way out. As the sun came up, we got familiar with the boat (the Ainhoa) and our Captain. Capt Johnny is a 2nd generation fisherman and as nice and knowledgeable as they come. Prior to the trip, I had let him know that my wife tends to get seasick easily, and if the waves were large that day, we may need to cut things short or do some other things. That was no problem. We fished for a couple of hours in the morning with no bites (but no other boats were having success eitherโฆ. thatโs why they call it โFishingโ and not โCatchingโ.) Then, we went over to a really cool reef area where we snorkeled for a while to give us a break. We jumped right off the boat and saw lots of great fish around the rock breaks, including puffers, schools of angelfish, damselfish, etc. After about 45 minutes of snorkeling, we were a bit exhausted, so we climbed back in the boat and went to fish some more. Unfortunately, after another hour or so of fishing, the winds and waves really picked up. There were LARGE swells, and our boat was pitching in the wind. Needless to say, my wife began to feel really bad, and I decided to call it a day. Though we didnโt have any fishing success, this was through no fault of Capt. Johnny. He tried changing things up quite a bit, including the baits we were using, the areas we were fishing, how fast we were trolling, etc. It just wasnโt a great day, and by the time weโd had enough of the boat, we were ready to just go back in. Before we went back to the marina, Johnny was kind enough to take us up close near the Arch and Honeymoon beach to get some great pictures, and we also were able to feed the sea lions and pelicans on our way back in as well. Overall, it was still a really nice day out on the ocean, but I look forward to coming back and catching my big Mahi/ Dorado.
So nice to meet you, Johnny! Iโll be back to see you someday in the future. Best of luck on your future fishing trips. - Laura
