Very poor fishing

Did a half day trip with my wife (both with previous fishing experience). Captain was friendly enough, first mate said about 6 words to us in the 4 hours we were on the boat. At one point we had a big Wahoo on and unfortunately it got away. At which point the first mate slammed the fish hook down, slammed the cooler lid shut and then shook his head at us as if we ruined HIS day. Didn’t talk to us for the rest of the day, just proceeded to shake his head at us repeatedly as if we did something wrong. You would think during the 1 hour ride out to the fishing area rather than stare at us saying nothing, he could have offered up some pointers or talked through the “fishing process”, instead there was ZERO direction/instruction all day and just lots of chaos. Also had an equipment failure which they couldn’t fix after a fish broke one of the lines. Caught 4 baracuda, other boats on the same day caught multiple Mahi Mahi and seemed to have much more fun/personable crews. Not so much upset about not catching as many fish, they just didn’t make the day any fun, instead they made us feel like we were a burden to them. My advice is to spend the extra $50 and pick a different boat.

The boat was nice and clean.  The captain and his assistant were nice but not very talkative.  We sat on the boat for 4 hours watching the fishing pools.  It was very interactive.  Wished we would have pushed to stop to swim since we were not catching anything.

Be very specific on the type of fishing you want to do. They won’t ask you and will do whatever type of fishing they want to.

No life jackets were shown or described if needed.  Crew member was loud, obnoxious, unsympathetic and dictatorial.  Caught 2 fish on half day excursion in worse waters ever.
