Our first day with Captain Sam was fantastic. We came back to the dock with a collection of yellowtail snapper and mutton snapper with a couple other types thrown in, 25 fish in all. My son caught a 7’ lemon shark that was released but what a thrill. Captain Sam recommended a cook your catch restaurant and the fresh fish was delicious. We went out with Capt Nick on day 2 and the wind was strong so very rough sea but he was very knowledgeable and found the Mahi Mahi and we came home with 9 keepers and probably landed 15 smaller fish that were released. He had a different selection for cook your catch and again the fish was delicious. We went out with Captain Sam our last day and caught yellow tail, mutton and mangrove snapper. My son caught a big (est 50lbs) Amberjack that was released because they weren’t in season and the last fish of the day was a 5’ nurse shark that was released. Both captains were very attentive and made sure to tutor us on the correct technique and help us when we screwed up which was often. Very nice equipment combined with knowledgeable captains made for a great 3 days . Highly recommend both of them.

My brother was up from New Zealand and we had a chance thanks to the weather laying down to go for some wahoo (no bites but the divers were getting some) and then get out wide for a look. No joy out there but it wasn’t for lack of trying. Got back to the reef and picked off a few nice tails and sundry before the sharks decided it was tax time. A very enjoyable day that you can’t fit the same scope into with eight hours in a battlewagon. If you want to max out your optionality and cover some ground (quickly), go with a CC, especially those that begin with COOL.
