Start of the trip guest show up 15 minutes late. charter was not paid prior to leaving the dock as the policy stated. I’d had informed the guest that water temperatures have been cold and we are not seeing yellowfin and mahi yet in the area for which they requested to fish for but did inform them that the prior days some boats caught soom bluefin tuna and that we can fish for bluefin and the limit was 3 per boat. so ran 2 hours offshore my mate had set out 7 rods in the spread for a trolling trip with spreader bars and trolling gear. bars and trolling lures which cost hundreds of dollars EACH. guests were in the bunks for most of the ride out. they did come out a few time during the trolling but most remained in bunks vaping or sleeping. we were not getting any bites and trolled a few locations. throughout the day talk to a few other boats and no other boats were getting bites trolling for bluefin and heard a couple boats had a very early morning bite to the north that the fish moved further north but even there they said it was very early bite and shut off the rest of day. Guests mostly stayed in bunks and were sleeping most of the trip. they did come out of bunks arriving to the harbor. at the dock the guest said they had to pay four ways two with cash and two with separate pay links. and didn’t want to pay charter cost and wanted a discount. which I informed them it doesn’t work that way, with the cost of fuel, bait and ice. which they were unhappy with trip. paid there four different ways and only tip the mate 5% of the charter as they were unhappy. but i can inform all my customers that there is No fishing gear aboard this vessel that is from the dollar store. we fish all the top gear that other vessels fish in the area and customers are welcome to come check out boat and gear prior to there trip. I wish the guests a better experience aboard another vessel and tight lines!
