Fishing has been slow, water temperature too hot and sea weed has been brutal . Alot of small mahi, some cudas, but snapper fishing has been pretty good.

Awesome fishing trip can’t say enough good about José. His boat is top of the line and he took care of all of our needs on the boat and made it such a great experience. Caught some really nice peacocks was a special trip

Amazing cast and blast day! Captain Justin is dedicated to getting you on fish and iguanas. We had a great day filled with five different species of fish and plenty of iguanas (14). We will definitely book another trip in the future! I highly recommend the homemade shore lunch. We had lemongrass chicken and it was great! Can’t say enough good things about this experience!

Great experience. Slow day, only had one "big fish" in the boat which made the day, we had the option to stop trolling and get little fish so overall fun day great experience

Dominic was great. He really knew his way around.And we saw very many iguanas. We shot about twenty five and recovered eighteen of them. A third SCOPED rifle would have been perfect.But we had a great time nonetheless. I would definitely do it again.
