Captain Lew went on vacation and had a back up captain fill in who said he hated trolling and we were there for a half day trolling trip. The mate also said that they do on a trolling trip maybe once a year and they hate it and prefer bottom fishing. Realizing that we were no with professionals like I assumed we would paying $600 for a charter. I asked if we could bottom fish after a bit of we didnโt catch anything and they said they werenโt prepared. We had 6 people and 3 rods in the water. They had another 10+ poles in the cabin and only brought 1 type of bait.ย We caught nothing and spent 4 hrs trolling with the most negative attitude from captain and crew.ย The listing said the cabin had a which it doesnโt a sink in the bathroom that doesnโt work. A tuna tower that you arenโt allowed to go up and put riggers that donโt work. No live bait as advertised either.ย If you are looking for professional crew and fishing expertise, look elsewhere for your deep sea trolling experience.

Sorry you had a bad experience.
Thank you we venjoyed having you aboard
Sometimes they bite,sometimes they donโt. It is fishing,not catching all the time.
Make sure you bring your own fishing pole if you go with them and be prepared to fish only his way if you use his over sized fishing rodes, all we heard about was the old people and how sick he is with them ,this Captain definitely needs to retire , no one is able to guarantee how many fish a person can catch and I do realize that because I am a fisherman but a captain should try and make the experience good and he definitely didnโt ,my brother-in-law that came with me has the same opinion ,hereโs a tip bit for the captain put some rubber mats over the back of the boat and you wonโt have to yell at the people for their weights to hit the back of the boat , I booked two days with him, Dave his helper on the second day was good, I enjoyed him, he tried to make the trip good. this captain is only for the money.

I donโt know what kind of fisherman you are,however,not a fisherman who is experienced snapper fishing.We use gear suitable for our target species,not for catching guppies.As far a banging sinkers on the boat,that is like my crew coming to your home and hitting your dining room table with a hammer.Unfortunately,the damage to the boat caused by hitting it with sinkers and chipping the paint costs more to repair then replacing your table.As far as the money is concerned,this is a business,not a charity.Sorry you feel this way,but over the years we learned you canโt please everyone. Maybe you should consider retiring from snapper fishing,cause I am not!!!!

As it turned out - by bad luck- the fish was not biting this time. The Captain and crew done all they could to put us on the big ones.
I will definitely go back at first opportunity.
