    Half day with Tyler/Riley

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on July 14, 2022 • 6 adults

    The Tyler/Riley team were not very friendly. They drove the boat super fast, and then we only fished for about 20 minutes total. They seemed to be in a hurry the whole time, didn’t take time to explain anything or make anyone feel welcome, so it was not a great experience. Seems we spent the whole time driving out and driving back. On the way back they stopped to help other boats with engine and gas problems, but not looking for good fishing spots or giving us a chance to fish. Of the 6 in the party, everyone was seasick from the start, which made things difficult, but it seems the Tyler/Riley team just gave up and drove us back. We left at 630 am and returned to the pier around 11 am. He only discounted $100 for returning early. Will not do this again,
