Trip started out great. The First Mate Travis was great but Captain Brantley Galloway was very quite. We caught bait fish and then went out a way to fish. Caught a few then the Captain Galloway backed up to a boat and gave a box of our frozen bait away to another boat. Later in the morning we started running out of bait and the captain took us in circles to kill time because we had no bait. Very discouraged and would never book with this captain again.
I apologize that your expectations werenโt met. I knew catching live bait was going to be nearly impossible, following the passing of tropical storm Cindy the day before. With this in mind, I purchased a 40 lb box of frozen Boston mackerel for back up. We did not use nearly half of this bait, so sharing bait with another captain was not an issue as we gave them less than half of that box. Fishing the first day back on the water following a tropical storm on the gulf is always tough. However, if you felt that I was driving in circles, It would be because I was trying to locate fish for you to catch on a prime fishing location. Being an avid fisherman, I do not seek to waste time fishing in spots that are not productive. If you had made me aware of any issues you had during this trip, I would have made every effort to resolve them at that time.

When your 15 year old son says โwell at least we had a chance to talkโ sums it up. A four hour trip and we had expected to do more than troll with 4 lines in the water for the five of us. We thought we would have bottom fished for red snapper and grouper and instead we trolled a short distance from the harbor.ย The captain we had expected sent a replacement. The deckhand Jordan was awesome.
Charles, I do apologize for my absence.ย However, sometimes I do have to have a day off.ย We often run everyday within the summer months and it can be exhausting. We would be happy to take you bottom fishing, however we do not bottom fish on our minimum 4 hr. Charters. We offer bottom fishing, with 6 hr.ย or longer charters. I will make sure this is clarified on posted on this site.
Thanks, Captain Brantley
