Berto and his Captain are very good at what they do, and know the best spots. My family and I caught many different fish including decently sized Red and Grey Snapper, Amberjack, Cherne, Aranje, and Sea Bream. Only comment for improvement is that the equipment was slightly dated and perhaps undersized for trolling, but ultimately this made For excellent sport in trying to bring in the 30 lb Amberjack Tuna. Would fully recommend and will come back for a second trip in the future!

Peter was extremely knowledgeable and it was wonderful to get to spend the day with him. The sea was rough but we made the most of it and we felt safe the entire time. I'd definitely recommend Peter and Prospector 1 to anyone

Pop fishing or "popping" is one of the most exciting ways to fish as you can witness all the action close to the surface of the water.
This style of fishing involves dragging a lure known as a popper across the surface of the water with a short sharp retrieving action. The lure slaps against the water creating a popping sound and fires up nearby fish.

-
When trolling, the angler tries to raise a fish behind the boat using hookless teasers. Once the fish is there, the angler drops back a dead bait to a fish raised on a hookless teaser. Bait & Switch is probably the most exciting way of marlin fishing.

-
This type of fishing generally requires a decent amount of travelling away from land. You will be fishing in potentially large depths of water but generally chasing tuna or marlin type species that live closer to the surface. Famous pioneers like Ernest Hemingway made deep sea fishing and big game fishing very popular. For deep sea fishing large, expensive boats and strong fishing tackle are required.
