Do you Guarantee Fish?....There is never a 100 percent chance of catching fish but we can Guarantee catching fish on our 10 hr Deep Sea "Combo" trips if you allow the captain to fish for the multiple species they may suggest.. If you put in the time and you do not catch any fish you will get "another" full day trip for the 6hr 1/2 day price. We want to catch fish as bad as you do! Our success rate is over 90% on all of our combo trips so its unlikely you even need to read this... Our primary goal is to catch the species you want to catch, But Mother Nature does not always go our way. So you will have to be flexible and go with the captains suggestions. If "you" chose to spend your whole day on one species of trophy fish we can Not Guarantee this.
