Despite the rough ocean on the day we set out, we were able to tuck behind Las Marietas and get tight with some Pompanos!
Captain Jaciel and his mate met us on time and took us to a nice spot and put us on fish. It was a bit slow but we had multiple hits and landings. Equipment was good, crew was really nice and spoke great English. highly recommend.
Our day of fishing started very slow. We went to a local hot spot about 12 miles north of Punta Mita. Fished it very hard until noon and got nothing. We picked up and headed to another spot. On our way the captain spotted something to our west and we investigated. Within ten minutes we had found a large school of tuna that we followed for the next two plus hours. We hooked six fish and landed three nice tuna. We could have had more but I had to get back for a dinner with my friends. The captain has a great knowledge of the area and it really paid off for me. Next time I’m in the area I will definitely use them again
Captain Jaciel and deckhand Noah were the best! We did an 8 hour trip and it was definitely worth it. Recommend the longer day of fishing if you are seeking the bigger fish. The bite was a little slow upon our arrival at "The Rock", some 20 miles off the coast of Punta Mita. Two hook-ups, but lost both Mahi before getting to the boat. But then when Captain Jaciel found the fish we were bringing in beautiful Mahi for the rest of the day! We attempted trolling for billfish and tuna, but the Mahi were really thick. My girlfriends last fight was with a very good size bull. Had it up to the boat 3 times before more long runs and jumping. Lost the fish at boat, but we were not disappointed. Its still out there for someone else to enjoy. We had 12 Mahi in the boat, so finished off the day with a one-hour snorkel at the Mariettas Islands. Loved it! Great fish and a very cool blow hole. Would recommend this charter to everyone! Definitely do the 8 hour if you can afford it. The 12 fish Mahi were not wasted - Captain and crew helped feed many family and friends and we were able to give fish to a number of our new found friends in Punta Mita! Ofcourse we also enjoyed eating it, prepared many different ways for days to come.
Trip started out slow with no action but Jaciel and Edde were determined to get us on some fish and they certainly did! We found schools of Amber Jack and we we landing 20 pd and up fish. Hard fighting and lots of work but we filled the fish box!
