Seas turned rough sooner than forecast,although fishing was slow everyone caught fish and had a great time

It was not our day as the fish were hiding, but it wasn’t from a lack of trying! Had multiple lines out at all depths. Tried all different areas and Capt Lew and Matt were speaking with other boats to see if they were having any bites. Same thing, nothing biting.

My wife and I had a good time w/Capt Lew and Matt. Both are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Was a nice day on the water with great conversation.

First time on party boat.

Spoke with owner prior to full day charter. He assured me they were ready fully equipped and capable.
On arrival the boat was not iced, no safety review, we had to wait on the mate to show up - late.
Boat had one very small bag of frozen squid and 5 small dead fish (grunts) and no other bait. There is no active live well. We tried to use fish we caught and they were put in a bucket and died quickly without an aerator.
Tackle was very old with frayed lines and limited line on reels. Capt asked me if I had any gear they could use before we departed. The rigs they set up did not have enough weight on them to get bait to the bottom due to current. They didn’t have more weights. Fish hooks had no barbs— I had to point it out and ask for them to be re rigged. 8 hours of fishing and only a few grunts were caught.
I could go on for pages. I am an experienced fisherman and these people are incompetent and told me they don’t care in their actions and words. Go ANYWHERE else. This is a waste of money.
