Boat is old and coming apart, literally. Equipment is old. Didn’t leave the dock till after 8am and at 12:30pm was told it was over.
Didn’t catch anything but a rock and they made it sound like we had a 100# King Mackerel. Couldn’t have because line had no play or tug from fish. Line stayed fixed and solid as if it was hooked on a rock. Then line just snapped….
Didn’t even get out into the deeper part of the gulf stayed in shallower waters. Just trolled on top and to close to boat.
Captain and FM we’re ok.
Don’t recommend. Wasted day.

The boat is old, no ac, old gear, no ice box for catch. I had called to find out what kind of fishing we would be doing and I was assured that we could do what ever I wanted with in reason. I was also told that have very good gear and are very experienced. Great! Transportation was booked thru them as well and was very prompt and comfortable. We get to the marina, instantly greeted, and meet the Captin of our trip to discuss fishing plans for the day. I expressed that we want to bottom fish for snapper and grouper, and whatever else is down there, he said no problem but we would have to troll for bait first, no problem. As we get to the boat I notice the fleet of old boats, as we board we r offered drinks I notice the old rods and reels. The cooler had about 6 cans of soda, 6 bottles of very warm beer and maybe 6 bottles of water. The crew was two young guys very nice, and the Captin. We get under way, the two mates start setting up everything, they got about a dozen frozen ballyhoo, they rig up 6 to troll and put 2 out with 4 squid rigs on other rods. Captin got one rod, two rods on outriggers and two rods on downriggers. We would hook up with false albacore, the mate would have u sit in the chair and you would reel in the fish. After a bunch of them were caught they put away the trolling rigs and brought out bigger gear for shark fishing. I’ve been fishing for a long time, offshore, inshore, whatever. I asked if I could stand up and reel, I was told no it’s dangerous, I asked if they have a belt/harness, they said the chair is better. During them deep dropping the cut bait, only they were allowed to hook up because they need to make sure the bait didn’t get stolen from the fish, while using circle hooks, SMH. I’d say this is a good charter for someone who has little to no experience. The Captin spent more time fishing then I did.  But for someone who knows their way around the boat, I’d skip these guys.

Our Captain and crew were awesome.  They definitely worked hard to get us on the fish.  We caught a large variety of fish, mackerel, barracuda, shark, grouper, Bonita.  Had them cook up the grouper back at the marina. That was great as well.  Would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get in the water.  They even notified us of the upcoming weather forecast and moved dates to get the better weather.
