My daughter’s first offshore fishing trip and we were looking for her first mahi-mahi——and then her second through twentieth.  Although we didn’t have a weed line to work, Capt. Rick got us blind trolling and within about 5-minutes she had her first bull in the cooler.  Unfortunately it was the only one we had hit, so we ended up going inshore and he put us on a bunch of bonito and got our rods bending.  My daughter had a shark chasing one as she was bringing it into the boat and she reeled like a maniac to land it in one piece———and I had a porpoise chase and grab one of mine and take off running.  Wasn’t hooked but he just refused to let go, so I fought him for about 20-minutes and then was able to basically rip the head-half of my bonito out of its grasp; I considered that a draw.

Capt. Rick knows the water and how to find the fish, and his outgoing personality and humor made our 9-hours on the water that much more enjoyable.  And like every fisherman, although we would have liked to end up with a cooler so full of fish we couldn’t close it, we had a great trip with Capt. Rick and will definitely return and re-book with him.
