One More Sport Fishing – 35' 

Great day at the sea today! We got 91inch long Sailfish and small black tuna😄!

Booked three days with with Capt. Margarito on the One More-35 ft sportfisher. The intent was to chase billfish but Mother Nature had other plans. The annual cold current came in a month early and sent the blue water far offshore. First two days we tried to catch live bait in the morning, but water was green and cold. We trolled rigged baits and lures while chasing dolphin pods and tuna schools, but had no luck other than a couple small Bonita and one big hit ( we suspect was a tuna) that did not hook up. Captain and mates worked very hard, but the fish did not cooperate. The third day, Margarito and I agreed to take his 28 ft panga One More II to find the blue water. We found the blue water at 37 miles offshore, fished all morning out to 50 miles. At 12:00 noon the switch flipped and we started seeing more action. A massive strike and hookup up of a 250 lb blue marlin changed our luck. After releasing the fish, we chased dolphin pods and caught yellowfin tuna in the afternoon. All in all it was great adventure. Fishing was hard due to the cold current, but when you have an experienced captain who is willing to go the extra mile for his clients, what else can you ask for. Fishing with Margarito was like fishing with my best friend. We worked well together and ended up achieving our goal of catching a billfish. Will be back as soon I can get another trip planned.

We fished for about 4 hours and hooked into more bonito than we could keep track of. We also stopped for a bit and bottom bounced for a couple other species (grouper and needle fish caught). We saw many dolphins on the way and had very close encounters with whales. For a while it seemed liked everywhere we looked we saw a whale tail or a whale breaching. We even got to see a couple fully jump out of the water. After about 4 hours the captain dropped us off at Playa Las Gatas to have our fish cooked a few different ways and we had a lovely lunch on the beach while our kids swam around. The boat was perfect size with lots of shade for our sleepy kids and a great toilet because toddlers can’t hold it! Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxed day of fishing.

We caught 4 bonita, used one for bait, caught and landed 2 nice 20-30 lb yellowfin, BUT after getting the trophy fish to the back if the boat, them clubbing it, using a make shift small gaff, it fell off the transom before they could get it in the boat. Never seen my son so mad. He wanted a picture of this one in a lifetime catch.

Enjoyed an action packed day and together caught our very first Blue Marlin!! The experience was one of a kind! Great crew and captain who were very knowledgeable and experienced. They were able to guide us in getting the Marlin into the boat and on shore for some great photos. An exceptional day!!
