The fishing was definetly odd
In the 4hrs you guys hired me you caught 4 ft. Tarpon and alot of Mangrove snappers
We actually caught a 7 ft Tarpon the next day and a
6 ft Spinner shark
Wish you the best luck next time!
Some days are way better than others..

I am sorry you couldnt catch any gamefish. That sting ray put up a great fight!
I pride myself in putting my costumers on the fish. but sometimes and its not too often..rare actually that .the fish are right there and wont bite period.
I dont have a diver putting fish on your hook.
The costumers on my boat that same day were killing the fish all morning.  They caught at least 15 fish each of them, they wanted to catch and release and only kept their 18” Speckeled trout , Mangrove Snappers and Ruby lippped Grunts.  Then when I picked you at 12 :15 you said you didnt want to go to the mouth of the river where we were catching them.
I put a formal complaint against Collier County Parks   regarding the Porta Potty issue that day. Which I had no control of.
Better luck next time! and yes I did have a good time with you guys , I offered to give you extra couple hrs on your next trip and that offer still stands.
tight lines!
here is a pic of yesterdays catch.

Funny….I was expecting this kind of review the moment you told me that you shouldn’t pay for the additional guest because she didn’t fish.
I actually let you have the price of the additional guest at no cost, and told you I would forgo the money since the catching today was not as you expected.
I have and will continue to please my costumers, as I told you, I don’t keep them on a cage, Everyone caught fish,
and bragged about having a good time.
This morning I was ready for you guys, I had Live Mullet bait and Live Shrimp, Plenty bait we didn’t have to go catch it as other guides do,
I took you to the spots that have been producing, all six of you caught fish ,
today we caught alot of undersize fish ,again, I don’t keep the on a cage,
I had a great time with you guys,  we were catching fish and having fun
tables turned really fast when you didn’t want to pay for the additional guest because she didn’t fish.
I complied and not charged you .
Just remember , you hired me to go fishing.
Not to produce records or to feed you family. Money is an issue for you   . I gave you a break, I have folks lined up to catch fish and have a good time with bookings through next year.
I hope on your next charter with someone else, you will have better luck catching. just don’t forget, a passenger pays whether they fish or not.
