Pictures explain everything!
Very professional crew. We caught several fish, including; 3 MahiMahi, 1 Yellowfin Tuna, 2 Bonita and almost a Marlin that chewed the line. We felt safe at all times and felt the cost was reasonable. Would certainly use this outfit in the future
We went on a 5 hour trip first week in April.
Bait was included in the trip.ย Stopped at the bait/fuel dock.ย Captain got off the boat and then back on.ย Returned with no bait.ย There was none in the bait well.ย Motored out past where we fished and were told we needed to buy bait for $30.ย We did.ย Were told we would be refunded $20 for the bait included in the trip.ย We werenโt.ย
Rods and reel were limited and pretty rough.ย Captain and mate threw bait/chum and then baited hooks.ย Trouble was, three guys on the charter and only two lines set at any time.ย We watched them hook fish and then hand us the rod to reel them in.ย Didnโt hook many, so we basically sat around waiting and watching them fish.ย Also, (and this was the most frustrating), they would chum and then motor off after a few minutes while the fish were hitting the chum they just set!ย Made no sense.ย We told the captain we knew how to fish (weโre from Michigan and have been on charters).ย Didnโt matter - watched them fish for us.ย We watched boats 30 yards away double up while our crew tossed out the bait and hit nothingโฆand then moved off what fish were around!ย
We did catch four Spanish mackerel on rods rigged with at least 50 lb braid/mono.ย Not much of a fight against a four pound fish.ย Mate spent a bunch of time on his phone and not fishing.
In summary; gear was wrong, participation was not offered, overall effort by crew was low and fishing skill was poor.ย Would not recommend this charter.
