From the beginning I knew something wasnโt quite right.ย I emailed Captain Conlon and received no response.ย The day before our trip, I called him and he didnโt even realize we were coming so he sent his brother out with us in his place.ย I would have been extremely upset to have driven two hours to find out that we had no boat to take us out.ย Our trip began at 6:00 AM out of Calcusieu Point.ย We were disappointed to find out that we immediately had to purchase our own live bait for $34 which is implecitly stated as being parted of the package and one reason I chose this charter.ย The weather was ominous the entire time we were out on the water.ย It took us at least 45 minutes of ride time to simply reach our first fishing destination.ย The boat ride was smooth and nice as the sun rose.ย We spent the majority of the day running from the weather and eventually went back into the dock.ย The few fish we came back with, which included the ones caught by the guide, were cleaned and packaged for us.ย We paid the full price for only 5 and a half hours including all the running around time.ย If we had paid for a four hour trip we would have hardly fished at all.ย This trip was in no way worth $600.ย Jordan was nice and an enjoyable guide.ย He was helpful but the photos and the description of the trip are quite misleading.ย We didnโt even get greeted with the free t-shirt.ย We caught only one black drum, a couple of red drum, one flounder, one sheep head which was thrown back, and a few spectacle trout.ย We had variety but we surely didnโt have quantity.

I am sorry to hear you didnt have the best experience with us. As owner operator of Gills & Bills we like to hear nothing but 5 star reviews, and alot of those 5 star reviews come from more experienced anglers that know what it takes to put customers on fish and entertain them. I would like to make a few comments pertaining to your review. We spoke on the phone and i made it clear to you that you would be going with my brother because i had other trips to run that day, it is also stated in my booking that the bait expenses are included. I also remember telling you to make sure you brought rain coats just in case the typical summer showers pop up on the lake, part of our job is to keep our passengers safe and my brother did a good job in doing that. I would like to add that yalls catch was one of the best on the lake that day and that your time ticker starts as soon as we leave the marina. Im sorry we cant control mother nature and pay for guaranteed limits of fish if that was the case we sure would be in a good business. We appreciate your business and hopefully see you back again.
