Did a four hour fishing excursion with some business clients. Previously I’ve done some deep sea fishing off of a Boca Raton and also in Curaçao. Fishing in the ocean is something I really enjoy. You never know what you are going to catch it’s a wild ocean under that boat. We had three amigos on our vessel which was a larger boat. The captain, a deckhand(baiting the lines) and the main guy working the rods. When we set out they asked us what we wanted to do some trolling or drop some lines? We said drop some lines. Overall it was the most successful deep sea excursion I’ve had the chance to experience. In our group of four one guy caught a 25−30lb wahoo, a 10−15lb king mackerel a couple of triggers but also we had around 5 – 6 snapped lines. The wahoo and the mackerel came fast right when we headed out. Then it was dead calm for quite a while. They guys on board were helpful and had a cooler of soft drinks. I asked if they had cerveza and one laughed and said no. It was a medium rough day out on the water but I’m pretty good with getting sea sick. No issues for this prairie sailor. One day I’ll come back with a big one. A nice grouper, big barracuda or maybe a hammerhead or Caribbean black tipped shark! Overall the guys did a good job and I tipped them $ 140USD for the three of them.

Took a half-day trip out on the water last February on one of Captain Rick’s boats. It was a mission of the two dudes I was in Tulum with to slay some large fish, and slay we did. While February is not the greatest season down in this neck of the ol Atlantic river, there are always other fish in the sea. We found a couple of bonito, a wahoo and something else(can’t recall) out swimming around. I hauled in a couple, as did the gentlemen I was with. So we definitely got some good action in during our few hours out on the water. From the front desk staff to the guys piloting the boat, the service ranged from good to okay. Most of our interaction was with the two guys running the boat we were on. They were plenty friendly, didn’t mind that we brought our own music, and enjoyed some joking around. But when it came to setting lines and getting our fish on, they took it all seriously. That’s appreciated. Back at the docks, I did feel like we had to kind of argue with the dude a little bit to get more of our fish to take home. However it could have been the language divide. I just felt like they were pretty interested in keeping a bunch for themselves, which is not really how it works(since we did tip in cash). Overall, I’d roll out with this outfitter again.
