Gerald kind of takes fishing personally, and you'll find no one more devoted to producing a successful trip.
Capt. Manuel Leal, running our 36' Topaz Capullo, has been with us for over 15 years. Manuel started out as mate on the Capullo and quickly developed into one of the best deck hands in the business. Manuel moved up to captain in 2003 and has continued his practice of engaging clients' interests in our fishing techniques and other aspects of fishing. Manuel remains committed to producing the very best in charter experiences for our clients.
Cheyenne Rosales is First Mate on the Capullo, and has been with us for over 18 years. Cheyenne is a natural fisherman, and handles his myriad duties on the deck with the dexterity that only years of experienced focus can produce. No one has a better awareness of the minute to minute aspect of the fishing arena. He has the best eyes in the business, and is practically always the first to spot a fish in the spread.
Mate Luis Rosales is the newest member to the crew of the Capullo, joining us in 2004. Luis has proven to be a great addition, and is earning his chops very quickly, benefiting from the vast experience of his crewmembers.
