We arrived a little early… Captain Joe and co-Captain Chaz were there waiting. Received us well, gave us a nice welcome/safety/overview pitch and we were on our way…
Nice big boat roomy and clean. Rigged us up and had us trolling in no time.  Not much luck there so CPT Joe took us to a couple of spots to do some bottom fishing. Caught some Black Sea bass, puffers, quite a few pig fish.. but we had a great time - learning about the boat, the history, the captains… their journeys. The weather was good… little chilly, but got much better. Cpt Joe not only let us adjust our fishing time window… but he also let us extend our time when we got in the fish.  They cleaned our fish, packed them on ice… 
Can’t wait to do it again… and Cpt Joe will get my call.
We all had a great time.  Most of us hadn’t fished in 20 years… some hadn’t been on a boat… but they really took care of us.

The captain and mate did an excellent job of saving a bad weather day. Rain and windy conditions would have made it a miserable trip, but the captain knew just where to fish early and as conditions improved, we were able to move outside the inlet and catch a few Bonita. We ended up with a nice bunch of Spanish mackerel and several nice Bonita. I would book this trip again and would go shark fishing next time.

My 12 year old and I had a great time with Captain Joe and Chaz.  Caught a lot of fish in a day other boats were reporting they weren’t.  Learned a lot about the history of the Cricket II and the surrounding islands.  2 hours was a perfect time for us.  Will definitely book again when we come back and want to fish.

We had a great day on the Cricket II..turns out, you don’t need a bigger boat. It was a fun experience and Chaz was a great first mate.

Captain is amazing gentleman with tons of knowledge and forward thought for his guest. Mate very knowledgeable as well and there for you with great conversation. They both are accommodating and down to earth! Definitely book again!
