  Blue Marlin Baby!

  Half Day Trip – Offshore on March 13, 2021 • 4 adults

  Perfect conditions, smooth water, sunny day, whales, spinner dolphins and a turtle to see and then...hooked a blue marlin. Deck hand Fernando perfectly set, strapped, and hydrated the fighter until he had the leader in hand. Captain Frank was a cheerful, positive, diligent, and committed captain. A bucket list trip of a lifetime.

  Half-day Trip with Captain Frank

  Half Day Trip – Inshore (MAX 2) on December 6, 2020 • 2 adults

  Amazing day fishing on the water in Samara. My girlfriend and I went in with not many expectations, we were just excited to fish and enjoy the water. Captain Frank and his mate were incredibly hospitable, friendly, and showed us a great time. On top of this we had amazing luck with the fish! Ended up with four nice yellowfin and a large wahoo. Incredibly experience overall and will definitely partake again next time i’m in the area.

  Half day fish trip with Captain Frank Fines

  Half Day Trip – Inshore (MAX 2) on December 26, 2019 • 6 adults • 2 children

  Special Christmas present for my six year old grandson which greatly exceeded our wildest expectations. Captain Frank and his mate did everything they could to make this a memorable experience for all six of us which included his four year old sister, who particularly enjoyed our sighting of a whale who waved with his fluke at the close of the sighting, and parents and grandparents. Needless to say, we enjoyed fresh mackerel and yellowfin tuna later that night!!!! THANKS Capt. Frank and FishingBooker for another wonderful fishing experience!!!!

  Half day heaven

  on January 31, 2018

  What a day of fishing. Trolled for Wahoo. Saw 5 schools of dolphins, some cruised under the boat with us. See the videos attached. Saw manta rays hurtling themselves out of the water. Saw turtles. And had lots of fun. Ended up with a pot full of grouper. Some for our dinner and fridge. Mmmmm. And some for our friends. Captain Frank and his first mate Olman are passionate at fishing and making sure our fishing experience was fun. Always fun!! Comfortable boat, two large outboard engines and great shade cover too! Lots of drinks and munchies on board for us. Highly recommend Samara Local Fishing and Captain Frank. This was the second time my husband and I went fishing in January and each time is different. Always a pleasure.

  A Day And A Half With Frank And Olman

  Full Day Trip – Offshore on January 24, 2018

  We spent a half day inshore and a full day offshore with Frank and Olman, I cant recommend them enough. They were great! Fishing was really tough both days but being on a boat with crew that's interested in talking to you makes all of the difference. The half day inshore we didn't see much for fish at all, just a few red snapper at the end of the trip. The full day offshore we spent a fair bit of time chasing the schools of spinner dolphin trying to find the tuna. No luck with the tuna so we trolled some dead baits for billfish. We had one sailfish come into the spread and slash at one of the baits but no hook up. Shortly after that we had a blue marlin come into the spread and Olman dropped a bonito back to it for a good hook up. Great day on the water with them, I would love to have them on my own boat as guests anytime!.
