  Wahrscheinlich mein schlechtester Angelausflug in 50 Jahren.

  Half Day Trip (PM) am Februar 17, 2020 • 3 Erwachsene

  My fishing background: 72 yrs old, fished all over the world in fresh and salt water, have hired many charters, marine biology undergrad degree, owned and captained 10 boats during my life to 43' in length primarily used for fishing. Captain was like a last minute fill in. Was told by charter coordinator that "captain was an excellent, experienced fisher and we would have a great fishing trip" before we left the dock. First hint that was not going to happen was boat was not a fishing boat, was a water taxi full of seats designed to carry a dozen passengers commonly used for moving people around Bocas del Toreo islands of Panama i.e no rod holders. .Captain only brought 2 borrowed rods set up for trolling when it was not the right time of day for trolling as we left the dock at 11:30am. Was told seas to rough out in the Carribean where the mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo were so had to troll within the islands for baracuda/king fish - not the type of fish I wanted to pursue at all. Under those sea conditions, we should have gone bottom fishing on the reefs between the islands, but when I asked to do that was told by captain he did not have any other fishing equipment besides the two trolling lures on the rods. We trolled between the islands for 3 hours and did not have any strikes, only lures full of turtle grass every time we checked the bait. I cut the charter off then with another hour to go due to it being useless. Total wast of time and $300 + $25 in tips to the captain and 10 year old 1st mate. This is not an honest charter service!.
