How Do We Fish?
We tailor each trip to your preferences or offer expert recommendations to maximize your catch. Fishing styles like drifting, trolling with lures or Rapalas, jigging, or slow trolling with live bait. We mix it up to ensure an unforgettable experience.
Slow Trolling & Live-Bait Drift
Gentle drifting or slow-trolling with live bait (caballito, sardines, skipjack) to tempt finicky or suspended fish — excellent for yellowfin and dorado.
Jigging & Bottom Bait
Vertical jigging and bottom-bait techniques over reefs and structure to target snapper, grouper and amberjack. Powerful, close-quarters fights.
Trolling — Lures & Rapalas
Fast-moving presentation using lures and Rapalas to attract pelagics across open water. Great for wahoo, mahi and tuna when fish are feeding on the surface.
Teasers & Spreader Bars
Surface teasers and spreader bars create explosive strikes from marlin and sailfish — used to provoke aggressive surface hits before the lure is presented.
Charter Schedules
