Make sure you do your research before getting there, as many companies take you out for a expensive boat ride. We where out for 8hrs and trolled 4 of those hrs for bonito. When I told the capt, we are looking for trophy fish, he went on to tell me that bonito was good table fare. After trolling for another hr, I conveniced him to go OFFshore for the trophies. We spent another 3 hrs trolling the same baits with nothing to show.

Spent $30 on goggle eye/hard tails only to feed it to the seals. I went ahead and dumped the 5 bonitos foe the seals. Thought he'd enjoy them better then us.

Talking to another guy at the dock, he hooked 6 Marlin, bringing 4 to the boat. Said his capt tried new things, different baits, speeds, etc.
