Our first day out with Captain Tom started out well, meeting the two deck hands and the Captain, and being welcomed aboard. We headed out at 6:30 and started trolling at 7:30. Our first fish was a mahi, followed shortly by a nice sailfish. By noon we had landed five sailfish, a blue marlin and four nice mahi. We fished through lunch and found a large pod of dolphins feeding, we caught two yellowfin tuna and lost two large tuna, we could have filled the boat with tuna, but decided to head back after billfish. We were rewarded with another blue marlin. We returned to the dock at about 4:15 PM. The crew had our catch cleaned by the time we arrived. The local restaurant prepared blackened mahi for dinner.

The second morning we met the captain and crew at the boat at 6:30 and were fishing by 7:30. We picked up a few smaller mahi’s and lost two blue marlin. We did land a really nice blue marlin just before lunch. After lunch we found a floating log and caught some very large mahi. The crew again had our mahi cleaned by the time we reached the dock. The Hookup restaurant prepared fish tacos and a great teriyaki fish appetizer for dinner, using our mahi.

We have fished in many parts of the world, this was by far the best and most exciting big game fishing experience we have had. You will not find a crew and captain more devoted and that work so well together.
