Been there three times, go down to the docks around 3-4 pm when they are coming in, and look and see who is bringing in fish. The new dock is where you will find the better outfits by the way. Talk with them and see if you can join in with a 1/2 full boat for either a 1/2 day or a full day if you want. Look for newer and nicer boats as well. You can shave a good amount of the cost off this way. Don't book in advance, you will just end up paying way too much. Have a great time and hope for a nice day, and wear tone of sunscreen while out on the water........Also I would strongly suggest no imbibing on the night/day before you go or you will not enjoy it.........

Exactly as Dakota369 said. This time of year the fishing is not great, much better in April and early November. That being said some friends got a dorado and a bonita in the boat over Christmas. Also pack a couple sweaters for the evenings, I got back the 7th and it was really cool at night for the 2 weeks I was at my parents place! Good luck!

there is going to be 5 of us, and one is a ten year old will they take kids?

we usually take a super panga (smaller boat that has a biffy for the ladies) ; they are somewhat designed for 4 fishermen but if one is a kid, im sure you cold work something out. shouldnt have to pay more than 200 bucks for 4-5 hrs for the boat and captain.
cheers

As someone who has organized hundreds of people going fishing over the years...I would highly recommend taking along 12 hour gravol capsules. These don't over medicate and go a long ways to preventing sea sickness. Many people are not used to ocean waves and especially being a long ways from land.

Especially with kids...as soon as one gets sick...others do also. It is not fun for them and you are usually forced to go back early. Take it 2 hours before departure...1 hour before at the latest. Don't eat any citrus that morning and also pop a few tums if anyone stomach still feels butterflies at all.

Then have fun!

So anyone have sugestions for lures, what I would like them to multi task for big pike as well, I was thinking big swimbaits ,jigs, a big 5 o dimonds. what other stuff would you recommend. Bait rigs?
