8 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing
The Seas were angry
The weather was marginal and we were told it was going to be rough before heading out. It was rough but we were put on the fish. 2 very nice snapper and 5 total. Would have likely limited out but a couple of fishermen cried uncle and were very green around the gills. Captain Alicia was understanding and got us back to dry land. I was very happy that we were charged for actual time on the water and not for the original 8 hour booking. Very grateful to the company for doing that for us. Obviously a lot of great honest people work for this top notch organization. I look forward to getting back out there with Griffin and Captain Alicia to slay the fish.

Great Trip
Thanks to the crew of the Big Shot for a great charter this morning. The bite was a little light early (thanks to some pesky dolphins) - but Capt Alicia and crew kept working and got us on the fish. Plenty of keepers for a great meal tonight and then some fun chasing other species.
