They failed on expectations. We should have been offshore and we spent last three ours near reef. There were 4 of us and most of the time they fished only 2 lines. 4 guys watching 2 lines. The mate seemed to spend most of time up top with captain. We paid the rate and 20 percent tip reluctantly. For the next day we decided on a different boat.
Tough day on the water as all boats struggled. We were one of a few to get lucky and land a sailfish. Crew worked really hard and was very friendly and helpful.
Thanks for your patience It was a slow day of fishing (but good to be a fish)
We left at 645 am.ย 1st we went to catch live bait.ย This took until 9am.ย Our goal was to put fish in the freezer.ย Caught mostly king fish and bonita which to us is not fish we would eat.ย We then decided to go for some mahi mahi.ย In 2 hours we caught four for the freezer.ย Good sized, however the last 3 hours we did not catch any fish.ย I must say they fish different down here where reef and wreck is trolling, not sure the hook ever reaches the bottom.ย We did see other boats bring in some nice catches along with some grouper.ย What happened to bottom fishing with squid? Not so sure I agree with paying for 2 plus hours catching live bait before we fish.ย Makes one wonder what would happen if we didnโt catch any!!!!
