Had a great time today with Captain Art and his first mate Mason. Couldn’t have asked for a better weather, and shout out to both of them for suggestion places to take our catch to get cooked it turned out amazing!

I booked a private charter for my son and myself for his 16th birthday gift. We told the captain that we would love to catch something big. Capt Art took us right to a hot spot where we caught a bunch of Bonito and Dolphin. The first mate worked his butt off. We constantly had 6-8 lines in the water, and the fish were plentiful. As soon as my son and I reeled one in, there was another one on. I would guess that we landed 15-20 fish, with 6 nice keepers. However the most exciting part was when we hooked up to a large Blue Marlin. My son battled it for a while, and we got some spectacular views of it breaching the water. The captain estimated it to be around 400lbs. We didn’t land it, but my son has a story for a lifetime. One of the best days ever. The only thing I regret is not booking the full day because the time went so fast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Wild Bill!!
