Captain spent first 1.5 hrs trying to catch bait.ย Talked the whole time about how we were not fishing right but couldnโt show us how to catch a fish bigger than bait.ย Was over two hrs in before he put out heavy fishing gear with live bait.ย Caught total of 6 fish no bigger than bait!ย Plus it seemed that he was training a first mate, that was helpful and polite.ย Over all a bad experience.ย Wish we would have spent the $770.00 on something else.ย Was not happy with the pay system either.ย Paid $70 down and was told the balance was $630.00, but $77 was added to the cost.

Captain was not friendly. Website boat was 24 ft with toilet but this boat was only 16 ft with no toilet. Offshore fishing was only 6 miles from shore. We did not catch any large fish.
We always appreciate any feed back. The vessel you booked was our 28 foot Dusky which does have a marine head on it. Our smallest boat for backwater fishing is 21 feet so we donโt have anything in the size mentioned. Also it sounds as if you choose the wrong trip which you booked without our input or calling us first. You booked a Gulf trip within 9 miles which we were 8 miles out on your trip. Size of fish has nothing to do with how far you go and your party had several larger fish on that they lost. You went home with over 20 fish and released over 40 more. Having very little experience most would have felt that this was a successful trip. I suggest in the future to call your Captain before just picking a slot on the website and discussing your expectations first so we can taylor a trip to your specifications. We do have a long range sport fish which sounds like would have been a better option. Happy holidays,ย Staff at CruiseFishDive
