Captain Tim and 1st mate Noah kept us on the stripers. They changed locations and lures until we found what was working for the conditions. Noah kept the lines clean and was very patient with us novices. It was a wonderful time out on the water!
Overall the experience was good, everyone caught a fish, captain and crew were very knowledgeable. Captain was unable to reduce the price (4 hours on boat instead of 5, discussed at time of booking). The "customary tip" of %15 was expected even with reduced time on boat.
