We did not catch many fish, but it would be unfair of me to lower Greg’s ratings here because I felt like he worked plenty hard. I knew it was going to be cool and breezy. It wound up windier than either Greg or I expected.
Greg has a good boat. One way I measure guides (I’ve been out a lot) is whether they bring all the possible bait. Greg does. He had live shrimp, sand fleas, and croakers (and maybe other stuff). He could find fish, they just wouldn’t eat. To be clear, we did catch half a dozen in our three hours.
Worth noting: When I booked this trip, I did not realize it stayed in the channel with the cruise boats. Makes sense since the fish are in deep water during the cold, but I had not expected it.
Biggest positive is that we ran into two schools of big Jacks near the end and Greg stayed with them until we had tried every trick in the book, much longer than he needed to. I hooked one (it straightened the hook) but we went after them.
Pleasant guy to fish with. Would go again.
