    Tuna, Tuna and soar arms and big smiles

    Full Day Trip4 adults

    Great day fishing on Straight Up with a Twist- we landed 4- 50+ pound Yellowfin Tuna and I had an epic fight with a what thought to be a 200 lbs yellowfin but after 45 mins I pulled the hook. Captain Memo was the best, he put us on the big fish and after I lost my big fish he went back and got more Bonito for bait and went back out and got me my Yellowfin. Our Mate Jose was so much fun and worked his butt off, he a great chef, bartender, fishermen and ball buster!!!! My wife which doesn’t like to fish even got a 50 lb yellowfin! Awesome day with the crew on Straight Up with a Twist.

    Best B31 that I have been on in 50 yrs! Everything was right on! Fishing with a nearly full moon was just about doomed from the start! Memo worked his magic brought us home with several good eating fish but nothing to show at the dock! I t was a great day and I'll be be coming back!

    Full day with Rommel and the captain

    Full Day Trip3 adults

    Seemed to be the only boat out actually catching anything! For a slow day we missed a marlin , landed 4 good sailfish and a very tasty mahi mahi . By the end of the day we were the most exhausted and happy fishermen. The captain and crew worked non stop ! Dont know they lasted in that heat ! Hats off to them .

    Really great full day - crew diligent and super nice

    Full Day Trip3 adults

    Well, we knew we were fishing out of season so kept our expectations reasonable. Crew constantly worked on bait and lines to make every chance possible. We hooked two marlin but they not pulled off; we were able to reel in a sail and a mahi. Boat is clean, well stocked and ready to go when you get there. Lunch was surprisingly good! But it's the crew that really make he trip suck a joy...view doesn't hurt!
