Half Day Trolling Trip (AM)

Fished with Capt Jim on two separate occasions. Both times caught a huge variety of fish and I made some great memories with my boys. Capt Jim was patient with us and worked hard to consistently put us on fish. He was a real professional and very entertaining as well.

While the captain and first mate were extremely professional and kind, we caught no fish. I booked the charter desiring only to focus on mahi and wahoo. After booking the charter the captain reached out to me and said we needed to pay more to go deeper and find the mahi but we were never more than 1 mile off the coast. Not sure why I needed to pay an additional $125 for that. While I understand catching fish is never guaranteed, it was very disappointing to come back empty handed and nothing to... More

Sorry you feel this way Aaron. You stated that we caught no fish. Can you please explain. Do you mean no fish for the table. The mahi we caught was undersized and by law we can’t keep them. Bonita is not recommended to be eaten. We did hook a wahoo and your son left the reel. We can’t control that. The reason you paid extra is because you booked a bottom trip and not an offshore trip. I explained we don’t catch mahi on the bottom that we need to troll or fish structure. Believe it or not we did go out to 550 feet were we jigged for tuna and saw porpoises. Unfortunately, mahi bite was slow due to a weather conditions. I also gave you and your family an additional half on the house do to slower fishing conditions. Sorry for any confusion Captain Jim
