Tuna on the Roma in Samara!

Full Day Trip – Offshore on December 4, 2024

Jonathan and Justin did an amazing job for my wife and I a week ago! We bought a full day off shore fishing trip and they did an incredible job putting us on fish and getting them in the boat! It took a bit trying to figure out what was working, we did trolling and casting, live bait, soft plastics, hard plastics, jigging, and plenty of other lures till we got our first strike. But once we landed the first fish and we knew what they were going for we landed 7 total tuna! Two at the same time! And one pretty big one to cap off the day! Justin and Jonathan were fantastic and we’d highly recommend anyone to do this while in Samara!

Half Day Trip – Inshore on January 29, 2025

Jonathan and Justin were amazing. Started off a little slow for first 45 minutes but then we hit. First fish was a small mahi mahi and then bigger yellow fin tuna. We had 5 adults and one 3 year old on board. We all caught at least 2 and a couple more. Captain and mate even helped the three year old pull one in. He was so excited. Definitely recommend this trip to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

Half Day Trip – Offshore on August 2, 2024

We went offshore fishing and had a fish on in the first 15 minutes. The captain and the crew were very hospitable and accommodating. We targeted tuna and billfish and were able to get 8 fish in the boat. When opportunity arose to see other marine animals they put us right near whales, dolphins, and sea turtles. We spent the last 2 hours chasing billfish with no luck but hats how it goes sometimes. We were still able to catch a few more tuna and enjoyed the ride. 10 out of 10 and will certainly book again next time we are in Samara. Highly recommend to beginners and expert level fisherman.

Full Day Trip – Inshore on August 8, 2024

I can highly recommend Gladiator Sportfishing Samara. I gave my husband a day of fishing as a suprice. Simone has been fully committed from the time of booking to the actual fishing day. Quick to respond to whats up and all my questions about fishing etc. My husband was super happy with The crew on the boat, they were knowledgeable. My husband caught a lot of fish on his trip.

Half Day Trip – Inshore on March 29, 2024

Simone was great at putting together the day i was hoping for. We fished a 28 foot panga offshore for yellowfin tuna using poppers - then trolled up a nice Mahi on the way in. Capt Jonathan and Mate Justin were diligent in putting me on the fish and setting up good shots. Fresh Pineapple, cold drinks and caprese pasta lunch were a nice touch as well. The equipment on board was up to the task, workhorse Van staal & Daiwa spin gear, nice tuna spec rods and Shimano Tyrnos Trolling equipment.
