It is not uncommon to hear tales from tired fishermen of ten to fifteen sailfish being released in a single day, along with scores of tuna, dorado, wahoo, red snapper, rooster fish and the Iist goes on. There are all sorts of boats to choose from, but it is wise to make your reservations in advance since many boats are completely booked months in advance during this time of the year.
