The trip started out with a phone call requesting we change days, which we cheerfully obliged. However when we arrived at the marina we were informed that we are not fishing with captain John on his boat rather one of his guides on a different boat
While the guide was certainly friendly and courteous he appeared to lack some experience For example we spent the first hour of our trip searching for bait I have fished all over the country and I know there are days they just donโt bite. However, I would expect a trip this expensive to be as advertised ย Reel Easy seems to more concerned with volume than personal service

Extremely excited to go on this trip with my grandsons.ย I choose not to go into detail but trip was very disappointing and would neither recommend or do again.
hey thomas this is captain john. owner of reel easy charters and i respond to all reviews good & bad. you gave our company a poor review then stated you didnโt want to go in detail. that is unfair to our readers , your captain and our company. i have attempted to call you and have left messages on both numbers you had provided to us. you have yet to respond. this is what i know from our records. you were scheduled for a 4 hour afternoon 1/2 day on august 21, 2019 in your booking request your comments were as follows โ going with two grandsons 18 and 15 years old. need to be instructed. donโt care what we catch or how big as long as we catch fish!!!! never seem to have much luck and is discouraging on few times. read about underwater โswamp โ with lots of fish. โ
we spoke one week before your trip where you expressed concern about weather and about fishing . you again mentioned โswampโ at which time i told you we donโt have any swamp in the florida keys. and the nearest swamp is a 126 miles called the everglades. you stated you just want my grandsons to catch some fish and have a good time. you expressed concern again the day of your trip so we moved your trip to friday the 23rd to a 1/2 day morning in a attempt to get you out in better weather. friday you and your grandsons went out fishing on our brand new 2019 state of the art hybrid boat. with a veteran professional captain.ย you caught yellow tail snapper mangrove snapper yellow jacks barracuda and sharks all on a 4 hour trip. not sure why you were disappointed

Had to go buy hooks in the middle of the first day.ย Not prepared when we showed up.ย It was blowing pretty good both days but the overall approach wasnt good.ย Other boats on the same dock came back with plenty of fish.ย Nice guys but it seemed mailed in based on the 20 or so charters I have had.
Hardly caught any fish
