I picked a tough day for fishingโrainy and windyโbut we found a few barracuda. Captain Fitzroy put in a good effort, and unlike some of the other boats that got to adventurous, we didnโt have to come in due to seasickness.
Nice guys, easy to fish with, and very professional.

Thank you for your kind words Jim! You really took on the whole trip with such a great attitude of a true hard core fisherman-come rain or shine!๐๐ฝThank you for joining us and we truly appreciate your adventurous spirit! We look forward to you joining us again on the sunny days ahead!
We ended up in small replacements boat with no shade, 3 hardened sailors feeling sea sick as the boat circled around trawling the same area. My husband didnโt even get to touch a fishing rod the whole trip, they caught one fish and my son got sunstroke and vomited the whole night.
Thank you Ms Davies for your candid review. Although you were not able to join with us on the charter, I am very sorry to hear that your son and husband did not enjoy their trip. I did make sure to inform you beforehand of my maintenance issue on the other vessel, and wanted to provide you an alternative with the smaller vessel,ย and informed you of its size and centerconsole layout, and provided ย additional discount and gave the option to cancel in advance if it would not be acceptable. I also provide my guests the option to stop at anytime for a swim/snorkel if they so choose, or to end the charter early with refund if they are uncomfortable for any reason, but the gentleman made clear to me they wanted to only fish, and I put them in the best fishing grounds that we have. Unfortunately, through my best efforts, I cannot control the wind and weather and fish biting, but I always work my hardest to provide the best experience I can for my valued guests. Fishing is is not always easy, and many factors are at stake. Arriving from a long overseas flight the night before can certainly add to the fatigue.ย I sincerely hope that you will understand that my ultimate goal is to provide my guests with the safest and best chance of catching fish that I can offer,ย within the factors that I can control. I do wish you and your family all the best in your health, travels and next adventures ahead, and I thank you again for your patronage. Warm regards, Capt Wilkinson

First off, fishing doesnโt mean catching.ย We understand that as we fish on our own 20+ times a year from the Bahamas to North Carolina.ย First warning sign was fishing for wahoo with no shock leader between the inline sinker and the lure.ย Second warning sign is no sign of changing tactics (e.g. non-ballyhoo rigs or changing rigs based on lack of bite) based on conditions of barracuda bite.ย Third and final was getting the line wahoo of the trip to the boat but instead of leading it to the side of the boat, trying to gaff it off the swim platform with 3 strikes before the leader snapped and the โhoo was gone.ย Lastly, Fitz and Darren were very kind and accommodatingโฆ but canโt say this is the charter to land meat fish regardless of the conditions.
