Full day trip, rough water

Half Day Trip5 adults

The captain tried his best to put us on fishing spots. The fish were small and almost embarrassing to catch. The boat was older and in rough condition, the exhaust was pretty bad the whole trip. We had an older group and with the rough water, the flooring in the cabin was loose and caused two people to fall. One minor injury. The captain and mate weren’t really sociable so it was kind of boring holding on with the rough water. The captain was on his phone most the trip and on a phone call so seemed like we weren’t welcomed. We had five people, and the deck was about maxed out even though four of us were fishing as the other one was fighting sea sickness the whole trip. We caught fish but nothing impressive. Ended up with about 2-3 lbs of fillets so it wasn’t a lot. You might get lucky and catch big fish like in the photos but we sure didn’t. The boat wasn’t set up for anything other than bottom fishing. With the signs of life at the surface of the water it would have been nice to try to troll and go for dorado fish or something they said was in the area. I tried being positive about it but it sadly didn’t meet any of my expectations. I’m not digging on the crew or boat, your experience could be perfect but it just didn’t line up for us. We had a full day chartered and we ended up requesting to go in after 3 hrs on the water since it was so rough and the quality of fish was poor. I call it poor is when you have two fish on a line and their so small you don’t even know it until they try and move and reel them in. Don’t think we caught anything over 2lbs. I won’t use this company again.

    Super time

    Deep Sea Fishing (MAX 8)3 adults

    This was the 3rd time we have fished with Ivan's crew on the Wanderlust. Carlos and Chino were great. They put us on fish, and we had a super time and came home with a cooler of fish. This is the perfect trip for adults who want to catch fish to bring home and just have a good time. Not really for young kids as it takes a while to get there and can be a little slow between fish.

    great family trip

    we came to fish in Rocky Point, and Captain El Capitan and his assistant did an excellent job finding the right spots. We caught plenty of fish and had a great experience. Highly recommended!

    Fish after fish after fish!

    Half Day Trip10 adults

    Best fishing trip ever! We caught fish after fish every time we stopped. We were so sore the day after from reeling so many in! Great crew! The crew was on it and constantly helped us bait the rods and get fish off. All of the fish were filleted and packaged by the time we got back to the marina. We even saw whales!

    Half Day Trip13 adults3 children

    We had a fantastic fishing half day! The crew was amazing in helping us with the bait and when we caught fish. It was unbelievable how many fish we caught, they knew exactly where to go! We would definitely recommend this crew and boat, we had a wonderful time.
