I realize that the live well cover is the most used opening on the boat so it sees lots of wear, but that is why it should be working well.ย Hinge was coming loose which makes me concerned for maintenance on the rest of the boat.ย They need to invest in their equipment to ensure that customers have the best possible experience.
For $350/4hrs i didnt expect much but i was at least hoping to catch something for dinner that night, โfish finderโ didnt work on our trip, seemed like the driver was just trying to go from spot to spot and not really give a chance to catch anything, was offered chum for an extra $20 the night before from the captian, he said itd make a big difference we agreed and there may have been miscommunication but we didnt get the chum at the end and we werent even offered it. Maybe we just had a shitty day but i wasnt impressed at all :(

Hello Shelly, Thank you for fishing with us. First, before I add my rebuttal to your review, I would like to say that you highly offended my captains. Especially the captain, that you felt the need to negatively comment on his tattoos. Iโm sure that if you knew that half of his tattoos were a picture of our son who was killed in Afghanistan last year June 25, 2019, you would have not been so judgmental about something you knew NOTHING about. I suggest next time you see someone with tattoos (which is a personal choice) and you are using their service that you hold judgement until you leave the premisses. Now per your review: It is unfortunate that you โdidnโt expect much for $350โ for your trip, but yet you chose our charter. If you were bargain hunting, you should have chosen the party boats. Although I do admit, we do get a lot of flack for our pricing. At Reel Men, we take pride in how hard we work for our customers. One way we prove this is that we donโt sit in one spot if the fish arenโt biting. This is shown in the amount of fuel we burn moving spots as we try to find fish on slow days. We donโt expect inexperienced saltwater anglers to understand that, so I apologize that this wasnโt explained to you in advance. We move spots to find fish on slow days. Unfortunately, but due to Nature, Fish are not Guaranteed due to the nature of the fishing sport. Secondly, am not sure why you say that the fish finder Didnโt work, because all of our gear and equipment has been recently installed and was certified to work in right after we were cleared. However, I will speak to my captains so that they know to let the customers know, that a fish finder also isnโt always used and that we call the FalseHopeOmeter because even though we have them, again, nothing is guaranteed, but it makes the customers happy to see the fuzzy blips on the screen. Even if those may be sunken boats.ย Also, they need to tell the customers, we use the depth finder and if we know the spot we anchor we know the depth. Thirdly, I have no idea what you mean by $20 for chum. We do not chum. Ever. We provide cut and dead bait for for free with the trip, but we offer live shrimp for $30. This is clearly stated on our website. But we NEVER ever chum. So there was no miscommunication on our part because we donโt even discuss chum. Unless of course, you โchumโ the waters because you are seasick. But to sum up, no one ever mentioned chum to fish, ever, in the last 7 years of Once again, I thank you for fishing with us, but I suggest that in the future, โif you donโt expect muchโ in advance of service, I suggest that you do NOT use that service.
