Captain Taylor was great, no fish, would’ve been better if everyone had a rod, but wasn’t enough room for 6 ppl to fish. We also paid for a 5 hour trip but was brought back at 4 hours. Quite disappointed.

Some problems with experience.  Captain was 10 minutes late, had to get gas & bait, trolling motor didn’t work and redfish poles were not rigged and only 2 poles for 3 fisherman.  These issues need to be fixed.

The Captain, however, did put us on the fish.  We each caught 2 huge bull redfish each.  They all exceeded 30” long.  Captain had good sense of humor.  Good overall trip after getting through the issues above.

We booked a five hour morning fishing trip with Taylor (7am-Noon).  He was a very personable captain and appeared to know what he was doing.  What bothered us is he was late to pick us up from the pier.  Then he needed to make a stop to get some gas, so we started the trip late, which I assumed he would just extend the finish time to correspond with when we got started.  He didn’t.  We fished for bait which my boys thought was fun.  Once we collected enough, we headed out to do some offshore fishing.  Although boats were zooming past us, Taylor didn’t seem to be in much of a hurry.  Once we arrived to the spot, the current was too strong and we didn’t have a lot of luck.  My son did catch a small lane snapper that we were able to keep, which was the highlight of the trip.  It obviously wasn’t the captain’s fault that the seas were too rough.  We then headed inland to do some more fishing — again Taylor didn’t appear to be in much of a hurry.  Once we arrived near shore he headed to Crab Island.  We just thought he was going past there for our next fishing spot, but he then turned around and headed to the harbor and told us he thought we would like to see it.  That wasted a lot of our time.  We then headed into the harbor for the last of our time and we caught another small fish that we were able to keep.  He was very quick to stop fishing so he could unload us at noon. He then filleted our fish and told us of a restaurant nearby that would cook it for us.  Only 10 ounces of fish ended up able to be cooked.  Unfortunately, we paid for meat that was full of bones and barely edible.  Not sure what happened when he was cleaning them, but he obviously didn’t know what he was doing.  We certainly enjoyed our time together as a family, but for the $700+ we paid, we were extremely disappointed.  I am well aware that the captain cannot guarantee that we will catch a lot of fish — I’m not upset about that.  I’m upset that we spent so much time on what felt like was a leisure boat ride.

Although we were put on some fish the captain was 30 minutes late picking us up from the dock and then while in the middle of the trip he decided to cut the trip short to a 4 hr trip. He did reduce his cost but we were still catching fish and expected a 6 hr trip.
