Hi Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.  Thank you for being so generous with the crew as well.  It was indeed a slow day.  We did catch a total of 13 fish of which 5 were keepers.  I agree, not a great day as far as fish are concerned.  I definitely agree there is an expectation to catch fish which is why we went 50-55 miles offshore.  I did do a lot of driving.  I did stop many times on sites that showed lots of fish.  You booked a 30 mile trip for 8 hours.  I went 10 hours and would have gone 12, but you guys were ready to pack it in.  I get it, waves, sun, early morning etc.. make long days challenging.  You know, I went 55 miles out which was 25 miles over the 30 mile trip you booked which round trip is about 50 miles more.  Fishing Booker, which does a great job, takes 20% off the top.  Boat gets about 1 GALLON to the mile loaded at about $4.70 per gallon.  I went an extra 50 miles in total.  .  It stinks when expectations are not met.  However, I want you to know that I did my best.  I worked harder for you and your family (whom I all enjoyed) than I do on days where we limit out on big fish.  Running a new boat with great equipment, a federal reef permit and being fully insured is expensive.  I gave all I could financially, level of effort and would have even given more time had you all had the energy or will to go longer.  You did tip generously.  Close to $500 between captain and crew.  Thank you.  Sorry you all did not have a better time with that being said I feel very good about the level of value, service and care that I took to make the day as good as possible. I worked hard.  I enjoyed the trip and almost always do.  I enjoy fishing even on slow days.  The best of us have slow days!  No matter how much a trip costs, its still fishing.  No one can control all of the variables.
