Thanks, Mark! Great to have you guys on board!
I had booked this trip for my friends and I to help in celebrating my big 5-0 birthday and had much higher expectations than what we had experienced.ย The boat was pretty small for a group of 6 and the captain did not seem prepared.ย The Striped Bass seemed to want live bait, but the captain only had 2 or 3 of them aboard.ย Additionally, the description indicated that snacks, sodas, water etc would be provided and this was not the case at all.ย Only 2 fish were landed out of a group of 6 so there was a lot of fruitless casting with artificial baits that the fish did not seem to want.

Hell Bryan, Sorry the trip didnโt meet your expectations. You brought up a couple points Iโd like to reply to. 1- The boat is only 21โ9โ. I agree not very big especially for 6 large men. That is the reason for the weight limit and detailed description of the vessel. YOUR GROUP FAR EXCEEDED THE WEIGHT LIMIT. In hindsight I shouldnโt have allowed your whole party, that was my bad. It impacted the trip more than you know.
2- Groups typically catch their own bait. You benefited from the group before you having a few extra, I made that point to you. Typically if a group doesnโt catch their own bait then theyโre using lures for the whole trip.
3- I never supply snacks. There was definitely a misunderstanding there. However, I thought we resolved that issue by bringing you to the marina for food and we landed later than usual on the back end.
So Bryan, Iโm sorry I didnโt meet your expectations. That said, I would never want to have a group like yours on my boat again. I donโt want people thinking that itโs okay to break the weight limit, or that itโs my responsibility to feed people or that I can guarantee a catch. Thanks for bringing up those important points.
