Captain Ron proved to be exceptional. His vessel was equipped with twin 250-horsepower engines, allowing us to reach offshore locations swiftly and maximize our fishing time. Despite a slightly windy morning, the ride remained remarkably smooth. We began by trolling, resulting in impressive catches of barracuda and tuna. As the wind subsided, we switched to live bait. Captain Ron went the extra mile, teaching my children how to catch live bait on our way out, adding an educational dimension to our fishing trip. Our adventure continued with more exciting tuna and barracuda action, enhanced by shark sightings and encounters with massive sea turtles. Upon our return, Captain Ron demonstrated the art of harvesting incredible tuna filets, skillfully trimming them to sushi-grade perfection. We left with not only fresh fish but also invaluable cooking tips. Without a doubt, this four-hour fishing experience was the best we've ever had.

Our second outing with Captain Ron was just as fantastic as the first! Captain Ron's extensive knowledge of fishing, the local area, and his dedication to ensuring a successful catch make every trip unforgettable. Whenever we find ourselves in the area, Captain Ron will be our first choice. You won't find a more skilled and enjoyable captain for your fishing experience.

Had an amazing time fishing. Despite challenging conditions and a slow day on the water last week, the captain ensured we located the fish. I'll definitely opt for his services again in the future.
