Weather is important, as well as water temp. Make sure you look at it before you go. Anytime we catch fish it's good. There were plenty of fish, just not as many bites as the Captain hoped for. Not for a lack of effort and marks on the screen.

Great experience and beautiful day-wish we would have been able to catch more fish. Our boat was kind of tight for 6 fisherman, but i understand they just got a bigger boat for future outings.

It can be hot as balls but we lucked out with the weather. Captain Tim gave us a full briefing the night before which did a great job of managing our expectations.

Use a guide, such as Rich Johnson who is knowledgeable of the local conditions and can get them on the fish much faster than trying to fish on their own .
