Contender Sports Fishing II 

We arrived to the dock 20 minutes early, the boat arrived 15 minutes early. They waited for our coffee to be brewed at the local barista coffee shop, “by the way highly recommended “, then off we went. We tried for rooster fish on a local reef but was slow. The captain suggested we go out further for bill fish and tuna. Boy was he right!! Tuna was on the menu. In about 1 1/2 hour we had many tuna on board and the longest fight was almost 4 minutes!!! Very highly recommended this boat and crew!

These guys are crooked people. I booked a fishing trip for one person on the 30ft two 115hp boat. I got to the pier 30min ahead of time and no one was there. I messaged them with no reply. Finally they sent the pier master to come and get me about 20minutes later. She showed me to a much smaller boat with two 75hp engines, apparently they have two boats and I guess since I was only one person then put me in the smaller boat. I would have not booked with these guys if I knew that is the size of the boat i was going to be on, so bait and switch. The first mate, asked for their portion of the fare, and I handed over $7500 pesos in 15 $500 pesos in an envelop, this included money for extra live bait that I had asked for. He turned around, and counted the money. We left for an rocky island about close to an hour from the harbor. Fish there for a little while and then they asked if I wanted to go for the big fish in deeper waters, and I agreed, but I made sure to tell them I want couple of hours of live bait fishing. We caught a yellow fin tuna, and they go greedy and wanted to fish the waters for more tunas, which i disappointer said okay to. We caught another yellow fin tuna, and I asked them if we can go for the live bait fishing now. They agreed and we left for that location. The captain rigged for rods with live bait and it didnt take long when we had our first Jack Crevalle fish, after which the capital started to bring all the lines in and packed up to leave while first mate said how about we hit the harber, well i guess so, since you packed up to go already. Once we got to the harber and I was about to get off, the first mate asked me to put in a good review, and I was thinking, are you for real. I was just not going to leave any review since they didnt do me very well. Not too long after I came back to the hotel, getting ready to take a shower. I get a message from the owner say I shorted them $500 pesos and how he hates me. Wow. I was flabbergasted. The nerve of these guys, now trying to scam me for another $500 pesos. I asked him what the hell is he talking about, and he kept going on how i shorted him $500 pesos. So, I told him, that he is really starting to piss me off, I left 15 $500 bills in the envelop and the first mate went through it. He stopped texting me after that. Don't go with this boat, they are scam artist. If you are from the States, I would just get a charter boat in the States, much cleaner, better and no scams, you get what is advertised.

The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
