VERIFIED Went fishing on July 31, 2017
My bad for not requesting a smoke-free boat. Zack, the deck hand was virtuous & knew what he was doing aboard the boat. Captain Fish smoked & trolled for 4 hrs with not a single nibble to be found, but according to fellow anglers on the boat, he seemed to be a bit grumpy. Maybe it was due to the gouge above his ankle he may have endured before we boarded.
It just seemed disappointing to troll that long and not even go for alternative fish. At least the weather gods were in our favor. For the price plus big tip;Fished July 2017
