September 5, 2023Our second journey in two years with Captain Juan, and without a doubt, he is unmatched. His fishing expertise ensures you reel in fish, and his spacious boat comfortably accommodated our group of 4. With an abundance of live bait and fishing gear, we were busy fishing for the full 4 hours. Captain Juan, thank you once more – we'll definitely be back in the future!
