The morning started with Rueben asking what kind of fish we wanted to go after. I told him I made the mistake of choosing last time in Cabo and caught nothing with a different Charter company and we would go after whatever he and Roberto felt would give us the best odds. The trip started off quickly with 3 Yellowtail and a white Tuna on our first set trolling. From there it got slow for a long time like it often can when trolling. However, Rueben continued to work the lines, rig fresh baits and change the artificial lures all along. At about noon when even I was fading from watching the back of the boat for hours my wife and Rueben saw a Mako jump out of the water astern. In an instant we went from trolling 6 knots to 16 knots with 7 lines in the water and a wild man at the Helm. Captain Roberto made some of the most aggressive maneuvers at high speed with all those lines out to circle back three times in the area where we saw the Mako. On the third pass we hooked up on this Striped Marlin and reeled him in for about 15 minutes. Both the Captain and Mate did a great job landing this fish. The most exciting part for me as a licensed boat captain was to watch Roberto step into high gear. Shortly after we ended our day with a couple happy fisherman and a couple green passengers, but overall it was a great experience.

I might add that Kim, the owner/operator of the fleet, was excellent in communicating all leading up to the day of our trip and greeted us afterwards on the dock.

No question, I will fish again with the Viviana’s fleet next time in Cabo!!

Went out to the Pacific side looking for Dorado and Tuna , but we bagged three Marlin ranging from 75-120 lbs. we also pulled in a nice size Sailfish. Dorado was slow , but we had a great time Tony worked the rods the whole time which was good since a couple of our anglers were rookies. Changing lures and live bait looking for Dorado or Tuna. Overall great trip excellent boat and hassle free setup.

We had a great time on Viviana’s Second Chance. The captian and first made did an excellent job trying to get us a catch, we came up empty but it wasn’t because of lack of effort. That’s why they call it fishing! Running multiple lines and changing lures and bait throughout the morning, we just couldn’t get a bite. They also were able to provide champagne and orange juice that my fiance had secretly requested, it was a nice touch and it shows they truly want to accommodate their customers. I would go out again with this crew anytime.

The boat and crew were great unfortunately we only caught a few none keepers. We have fished in Cabo several times and have had up and down trips so nothing against the crew. The crew tried very very hard to put us on fish but is was not a good day. We have friends that live in Cabo and they said that fishing was up and down for the past few weeks so our hopes were high but our expectations were realistic. We also heard that other boats had a tough day as well. We will definitely use Vivana’s Sportfishing again.

We had a wonderful time on Second Chance. Captain and First Mate were very friendly and wanted us to catch our choice of fish. I never caught a Marlin and told them that. About 2 hours in I caught a Marlin!  We brought our 3 year old. They caught a small fish for her too!😉

Thanks Guys!!!
