Had a great time, Captain Bernie was super nice and put us on the fish.ย I guess there was some miscommunication where we had a larger party than they anticipated.ย But they managed and still supported our trip.ย Our fishing guide/rigger did a good job ensuring we all got a chance to fish and made sure we were safe.ย Only suggestion is that he was all business, would be nice for him to interact and encourage the people fishing, much of the time he was correcting or telling people to stop or they were doing it wrong.ย Thatโs the only feedback, but he worked his butt off, and appreciate him working with all of us.ย Thank you for a job well done.

Highly recommended the WindWalker II for big family for its fair price, large boat, cleaned toilet onboard, sun shade, deep sea but not too far off shore. none of our family has experiences bottom fishing and half of our crew got sea sickness due to early morning rough sea affecting by incoming Elsa. Captain Bernie is always working every minute on his control center to ensure we are on the fishes. Mark, the deckhand, is straight forward but knowledgeable and knows what he is talking about. Listen to Mark attentively, and donโt be an egotistical person then you will land plenty of fishes. Bernie and Mark always in active communicating with each others to ensure we get the most fishes possible. If we have all 8 people in optimal shape and without the rough elements early morning, we easily can double or triple the amount of fishes we hauled in that day.ย Before the trip, I request to pay for the bait fishes so we have more time to fish for bigger one. Skipping catching bait fishes step is a good move for me. We do not have small children during this trip, can not speak for that experiences. Both mark and Bernies shows professionalism and seasoned at sea. Mark can be quiet sometimes because he focus and works hard for us to get fishes, He is respectful, and if he yelled at you because you do something not bright, it all because he cares for you and people around you and fear that you may lose the big fish.

Our motley crew of 6 had an amazing day on the water with Captain Bernie and First Mate Mark.ย From start to finish, the day was perfect.ย The boat is fantastic, roomy, good tackle/bait, and a bathroom, a definite plus for us lady anglers.ย Capt. Bernie put us on fish at every stop and Mark kept us baited up and told us tales of his decades on the water.ย We caught dozens of triggers, most โsoul-crushinglyโ undersized and returned, but fun to catch.ย Caught a variety of other bottom species including white snapper, squirrel fish, vermillion snapper, and some beautiful red snappers that we are coming back to get this summerโฆlol.ย We then did a little trolling near shore to finish the day and all six of us got to bring in a spanish mackerel.ย So we went home with great memories and a variety of fish to try.ย Big thanks to Capt. Bernie and Mark for being so good at what they do.ย Will definitely go out with them again and recommend them to others.
