We didn’t catch anything but it looked like no one else around us did either

The first thing our captain said when we boarded the boat was that fishing was poor because of El Nino. But effort and skill can change your luck too: the captain failed to changed/switched the bait or lures in six hours and played music very loudly (which the fish can sense and we could have done without).  Other boats were successful for Mahi-Mahi and Marlin that day, but after fishing for six hour we didn’t get a bite.  Be prepared to have an expensive tour of Banderas Bay.

Weather canx guarantee…the crew knew I only wanted marlin…weather was so bad we cut the 6 hour trip to 4…should have been maybe 2.
Live bait…was zero on board
Fighting chair…there were no chairs on the boat at all.
I only wanted 1 thing…marlin…that’s it…nothing else…they way over promised and way under delivered.

First time I’ve ever had a captain call me an as**ole. We caught two bill fish - decent for 10 hrs. First one hooked in gut. Second one, standard, I told the captain to release it 3 separate times. He ignored me and clubs it. I called him out - things got tense - real tense. He just wanted to sell it at the dock. Ride home was awkward. He also hit a turtle with the boat. Idiot.

In addition to all this he swears about every third word. Not that I care but it’s nice to know if you’re thinking about getting on a boat with this bandejo for several hours.

FYI all “super pangas” are run by the same crew.
