We tried to connect some with the captain but he was silent most of the trip. Not catching fish for 4 hours in silence isn’t that fun!

Thanks Charlie. About your time with us at the boat, sorry the fish was not cooperating with us that day, that is something we don’t control and that why is call fishing and not catching. Anyway we saw a bunch of fish but they don’t want to eat. About been silent, I have a different point of view, first we were fly fishing and I was all around the boat giving you and your friend some little advices how to fly cast, no much time to talk about life. Thanks again Capt.... More
