Trolling half the time got one small albacore. Asked Tom repeatedly to try bottom fishing, eventually he agreed. We got some action bottom fishing and caught few small fish, overall I was disappointed, not worth $500.
Sorry fishing was slow, trolling usually pays off when you put in the time. You wanted to bottom fish not me, I told you it wasnโt the right time or current for that. We caught what was expected. I apologize if you felt like I didnโt try my best, I wanted to catch big fish just as much as yโall did !!
I booked this fishing trip a few months in advance for my fathers birthday. My first message to Thomas was asking about any extra fees and he let me know there wasnโt any. The afternoon before our trip I reached out to Thomas to confirm our departure time of 7:00AM. He let me know that he had changed the time to 10:00 and was unapologetic when I let him know that wouldnโt work because we had made plans for the afternoon. We decided to still go fishing because we had already paid the deposit. At 10:27 Thomas showed up to the dock and we headed out to sea. We began trolling for mahi about 2 miles off the shore and after about 20 minutes he decided we would be better off bottom fishing at the reef. We passed one rod around between the 5 of us for the next couple hours and did not catch anything. (This is not the reason for the poor review but it was a bummer). While we were fishing, Thomas was on the phone making afternoon plans with his friends. I assumed we would stay out fishing for an extra 30 minutes due to the late departure but that was not the case. When we got back to the dock Thomas added a credit card fee of 5% even though I had asked for any fees to be disclosed earlier. I let him know I was disappointed with the fee and the late departure time and he did not care. When I let him know that we missed afternoon plans because of the late departure he told us it was our fault for making plans on a fishing day. Lol. All in all this is not a company I could recommend. Do your homework before booking and find someone who is going to care about delivering a positive experience.

You donโt have a right to leave me a review after not paying for your charter!! You disputed the credit card transaction with your bank as โfraudโ and accepted a refund against me, this is stealing and just flat out wrong. $500 you stole from me because you were upset about a $17 credit card fee. This information you have provided is false. I let you know several days in advance about the time change, and I offered you a refund and discount. Not to mention in that same conversation we had discussed the 4.5% service fee that the company adds to credit cards. We caught several vermillion snapper, amber jacks, and a red grouper(undersized). Upon return to the dock you tried to leave without paying me, cursed and yelled like a child and then proceeded to put down me and my business venture. I have notified the other local captains as well as fishing booker and your bank. I am extremely disappointed that there are people as scummy as you out there in the world.

Address is wrongโฆ Capt is aware
I understand the confusion about the address to the parking lot, for future reference it is much easier to put the name of the park into your phone (like I had mentioned before the trip). Despite the confusion you guys did make it on time and we had a great trip. It was awesome meeting yโall and I hope to fish with you again soon. Thanks for the laughs and good times guys, keep slaying the fish !
