The tour consists of a two minute ride to less than 100 meters from the marina. The crew proceeded to throw a ton of fish to the water, obviously fish came by but the chances of them getting hooked is close to none with so much fish for them to eat. This was more an aquarium trip than a fishing trip. And forget about the promised and advertised A/C. The A/C is as cold as the engine of a truck. If you want to catch nothing, and burn in heat, this is the trip for you.
About your fishing trip not tour. We are sorry that you wanted to pay for the less expensive shark trip and then try to get us to take you offshore when you got there with complaints that we werenโt going offshore to catch fish for a trip that is clearly **hidden content** more.ย The description of the trip you chose is clearly written. We fish this area 200 days a year and always catch giant sharks, Tarpon and more in the same manner we did with you. We are professional fishermen and know how to attract the fish. We usually reel in between 5-15 a night. We canโt make them bite all the time there are different variables to why they might and might not bite. It might have been that there was to much holiday boat traffic and commotion.ย Fish react to the weather, moon and their environment. You did reel in a nice barracuda.. Sorry the air conditioning kept shutting off the intake probably got clogged with sea grass. It worked all day long and is working today.ย We havenโt had that problem things do break unexpectedly.ย We canโt alway control Mechanics.ย We tried our best to put you on some giant sharks just as we always do. Throwing chum in the water is the way to bring them to the area as well as chuck bait. As you can see we are consistent with our 5 star reviews and in no way deserve the review you gave us.ย I really just think the review you gave us was because we wouldnโt take you offshore at 300pm after a full day of fishing prior.ย Because that was you initial complaint as soon as you got there.ย Sorry you picked the the inexpensive trip and wanted the more expensive trip and questioned what is the difference.. But you canโt put that on us. Capt Tony

Tarpon/Shark was ok. 100 yards from the dock fishing with carcasses of cleaned fish wasnโt really what I expected, but hooked a couple of shark. The mate wanted to try balloons but captain refused. The day trip was very disappointing. We had been out 2 days earlier on a different boat and had some success fishing weed patches that birds were diving on. This captain seemed to only want to troll. When we did find a weed patch he ran by it too fast for the mate to get more than 1 cast in. Mate was great. He placed bait right on edge of weeds. I could tell he was frustrated as well.

We thank you for booking with us weโre sorry that you felt that your trip was unsuccessful. However we did put you on some very large sharks that evening and thatโs where the sharks & Tarpon hang out under the bridges. You wanted a Shark fishing trip not a crusing trip. Why would we go any other place but where we know they always are. The ballons that you are talking about can spook the fish and attract unwanted fish. So I as the Captain decided not to use them.ย As far as the offshore we did everything we could to find the Mahi for you finding weed lines, chasing birds, pitching live bait, and trolling lures to target deeper larger fish.ย As you saw when we got back to the Dock that all of the Captains had a tuff time catching fish that day and some had nothing to show.ย I have been Fishing here all my life I know where and how to fish the Keys.ย I am unable however to control mother nature and make the fish bite.ย We did catch some fish that day while other came back emptie handed. As far as our mate being frustrated we both tried very hard to do everything to put you on fish and it is frustrating to find what is working that day and what is not.

We are sorry to hear that you did not have a excellent time aboard our charter. Although the Mahi Mahi were not biting off shore we spoke to you about fishing on the reef.ย You agreed that you didnโt want to just go for a boat ride with out catching anything so we decided to got to the reef. Your family was having a great time reeling in a nice rack of Yellowtail.ย Sorry you felt that a 3 star review was necessary because every other review we received that week with the same fishing situation,lack of Mahi Mahi we received 5 stars and happy anglers.ย Most commended us for not just taking them for a ride and being honest with them that the Mahi Mahi were not biting. Sometimes weather, moon and other conditions has a negative effect on fishing and we felt that we did a great job putting you on fish.

Thank you Bradley for coming aboard. We appreciate your business. I wish that we would have been able to control the waves and the fishing conditions but as you know we are unable to do that.ย That is why they call it fishing one day the fish are pleatiful and the next day they are not. The other day the all of fleet was catching racks full of fish and the day you went out hardly anyone caught anything as you saw on the dock when we returned. We did everything we could do to make it is successful trip for you.ย Sorry that some of you also got sea sick and that you though your trip wasnt as plentiful as you expected.ย We tried to please you by also giving you a discount. Thank you for coming aboard. Capt Tony
