Captain Alfonso (or “Chucho”) was very accommodating of our cruise ship schedule. We made arrangements to be back to the ship in time and had a great day! Trolling was the method of choice. We had only 3 fish hooked and only landed 1. As they say, it’s called “fishing” not “catching”! My girlfriend did land her first ever Mahi. In the second picture you see a bent hook. This was from a fish that the Captain thought was a very large Wahoo. They said they’ve never had their reinforced... More

Like any real fishing trip you have to catch fish and the big one has to get away. In this case we got two nice first time mahi-mahi for two young anglers and the experienced old guy lost a nice white marlin. Good captain and deck hand. Humered me and used a couple of my lures. One landed one of the mahi-mahi.
