Had a great time! 4 of us fishing (3f and 1m). None of us had experience fishing like this so weโre going in without a lot of expectations. Captain asked what we wanted to do so I responded with โPut dinner on the table!โ He did just that. Ended up with 29 little fish in a decent variety. We had to release quite a few red fish and some trigger fish because they were juuuust under the legal length. It happens!
Bryan put us on fish and we had bites damn near every other drop if not more.
His mate, Ted, was blunt and to the point! -ย โThis is how you do it. Donโt do it like that. Listen to what I tell you and youโll catch fishโ He wasnโt wrong!
If youโre looking for a charter for kids, a family party or a boat with a chatty crew and a party style, this isnโt it. Bryan and his mate are there to get you fish and they do just that.
Maybe next time weโll bring in some monsters! But hey, itโs called fishing. Not catching.
Overall had a great time!

Really enjoyed the trip with Captain Bryan and Terry. Reeled in a nice bonita trolling on the way to the first drop. One more later between bottom fishing spots. Captain Bryan found us good drop spots resulting in steady fishing all afternoon. Nice variety of catch.ย Great boat setup with lots of room, fishing chair, wheelhouse with a/c, and comfortable seating. Nice conversation on the way back. Great day!
Bottom line, everyone on the boat caught fish which was the main goal. However I expected some hospitality and information from the crew. They did not talk and gave us no information before leaving, I felt like I was playing 20 questions when trying to find out how things would go. We were unaware that this trip would be 3 hours riding time (1.5 hours out and 1.5 hours back, we were told this is normal). The crew did not engage in conversation even when I tried, never introduced themselves or asked our names. The captain and first mate did not communicate well with one another. First mate was more friendly than the captain although when lines got tangled once he became very rude with my child.ย The captain said โlast dropโ and one of our group got something on his hook right away(seemed to be something big), the first mate grabbed the his pole and released it I assume because he was ready to go. I donโt feel like this trip was worth anywhere close to the nearly $1200 we paid.

Trip was for myself, my son, and my daughter. Captain was great. His assistant, Terry made the trip an incredible experience for my kids. Thatโs who you spend the most time with. He was patient, kind, and experienced. Would recommend!!!
Thanks again for fishing with us
