We had a good time and caught a few fish but did feel like a lot of time was wasted, started off with pushing departure 1hr then upon arriving crossing marina to buy ice and fuel, then driving around looking for cast net bait (1hr) just to also stop and buy bait then headed to fish started on bottom for reds did fine but when actually fishing for tarpon which is what this trip was booked for captain Brian would fish a bit but only hand off on one hooked so we did primarily sitting and riding for the whole trip if you like to fish I would not recommend!

I thought we did pretty good for 30 knot winds and kids doing the fishing. They seemed like they had a good time. I told you it would be tough fishing, especially with the storm the day before, but you still wanted to go fishing. I searched for bait to cast net for over an hour before you got to the dock and burned all of that extra fuel trying to ensure we had the best chance that day. Better luck on your next charter.
