We were with Capt Bicho and his son Nesta on June 9th. It was so fun to watch him stalk the sardines with his fishing nets! We got such a kick out watching him when he'd spot a group of them and then let his net fly. It also entertained us by how obsessed he was with any baracuda spotting that he had. We were able to land one and lost a couple while trolling. What a great time reef fishing we all had! It was our first experience for that type of fishing. Our daughter caught the most fish and gloated the whole week! We even had fun playing with the nurse sharks that kept biting. The BBQ was delicious and we managed to eat almost the whole huge package of fish and lobster that he had so expertly prepared! From there, Capt. Bicho induldged our tourist need to go to shark/ray alley. The weather had been so windy, that we hadn't done the dive trips that we had hoped for so were glad to fit that in. It was a terrific day and were so glad that we planned it! Thanks Capt Jeff (I called you Capt. Ron at BC's for your referral of this trip!

Biggie, I knew something was up with Bicho Jr. when he got excited about something early on. I knew it wasn't bad English! Nice family.
C From UK, I wanted to flyfish, but the winds were absolutely horrible when we were down. I opted to stick with spinning gear. There were a couple people who flyfished when we were there, had a horrible time with the winds. Hopefully the wind will be calm when you're down. Email Capt. Bicho regarding the flies, he should be able to help.

Capt. Jeff...Thanks so very much... :p In the past four months I have spend my 30 minute lunch on the board...looked forward to it...HEY I teach 1st grade so it was sorta like a Carribean fix of sorts...and when the first graders came back from lunch...well I felt revived!!! :p Not even knowing you I felt a strange bond?? and for whatever reason...respected your opinion! Teaching first grade I tell my class to be causious of strangers... :confused!! I have decided to join my husband andCapt. Bicho on my husbands second reef trip ( ( perhaps he can bring me lobster or four or five)...???!!! I had hoped so much that you would have been there to fish with my husband and the Capt...Perhaps next time..??? Oh ...when we scheduled our charters...we included the infoumous quote...."LIven the Dream"...Capt. Bicho said you MUST know Capt. Jeff...??? well.. sorta we said...Capt Jeff I fell you're the main man on fishing....replays from Bicho's many clients truly reinforce your thoughts ! In ten days we hope to be a Beliver!! KIND regards. !!!

We were out with Capt. Bicho and Bicho, Jr. on the 12th. Let me say: WOW! We had a wonderful time. We knew almost nothing about fishing. Capt. Bicho was super. We couldn't get enough. What a hoot! We caught fish from the first cast (a big red snapper) to the last(a monster ray that Susan fought for almost a half hour before we could get it close enough to cut the line and then the line snapped). Capt. Bicho was a true professional who was very happy when we caught fish. Bicho, Jr. was downright excited at each bite. The BBQ lunch was great, and the snorkeling at Hol Chan was fun. There is nothing better than Livin' The Dream.

We have scheduled a trip to go fishing with him in July. Have the winds calmed yet? I know it is hard to say day by day, but just wondering.. out of excitement I am quite sure.
