thanks for the great review.ย we enjoyed your crew and come again John
boat was nice.ย crew was cool, but they did not put us on ANY fish
Dennis, we apologize that your experience wasnโt more than stellar! My team and I work very hard to make sure that each and every customer has the best possible experience. Even by your own admission the boat was nice and the crew worked hard to help please you yet you were upset that we didnโt control the one thing that we have no control over, and that is mother nature. Thatโs why we call it fishing and not catching. Everywhere, the fish were not biting. Some days itโs just dry, no pun intended. It wasnโt just our boat but all the boats in the entire area. It is sad that you use this platform to try to hurt our business. I think most people see through your remarks. Again, we apologize that your trip was less than a stellar experience for you.

thanks drew. your crew was great and letโs go ronthe bahamas
Hard working Captain and mate they put us on fish a nice sail and a huge bull shark lost back of boat.many other bites
thanks for coming with us. it was nice that we got the sailfish you wanted and roo bad the king fish and bull sharks would leave us alone.
Very disappointed in this fishing trip.ย I made it CRYSTAL CLEAR to the owner of the boat that our life-long dream and singular goal was to catch a Sailfish or Marlin.ย Not sure if that was communicated to the crew (i.e., Captain & First Mate) or not?ย I was well aware **hidden content** bait was extra ($$$)...not a problem as that was clear on the Fishing Booker website.ย We arrived the morning of our trip.ย I, again, made it clear that our goal (and dream) was to catch a nice Sailfish.ย The First Mate told me that he could almost guarantee we would catch a Sailfish if we wanted to fish with live bait.ย I said โgreat - letโs do itโ.ย The Captain informed me that he needed to know the night before if we wished to fish with live bait.ย How the heck was I supposed to know that (it was never written anywhere in any email or on the Fishing Booker website)???ย How the heck was I supposed to let the Captain know that if I had no contact with him prior to that morning?ย The boat owner knew what our goal was.ย Is it true that we would almost definitely catch a Sailfish with live bait? - not sure.ย Is it true that we needed to let the Captain know the night before that we wanted to fish with live bait? - not sure and not sure how we could have let him know even if we had known that (which we didnโt).ย Nonetheless, we headed out to sea without any live bait as the Captain was unable to get some.ย We fished for a little over 90 minutes for Sailfish, then the First Mate made the decision to stop โtrollingโ for Sailfish but to, instead, try a couple of other different techniques.ย First, we tried letting out line with sardines on the line, then we switched to bottom fishing / jigging (very difficult to do, by the way, with the boat moving in and out of gear every 5 seconds) in an effort to catch โother fishโ.ย Why not try listening to the paying customer?ย I wanted to catch Sailfish (not bottom fish) but that didnโt seem to matter or wasnโt clearly communicated prior to the trip.ย I am sick to my stomach that I spent almost $700 (with tip) and came away feeling like this.ย This trip was a complete bust for that reason.ย By the way, I was concerned about reviews I had read beforehand about Dwayne.ย Turns out he, and his first mate, were really good guys.ย Just need to get to know them.

I am sorry about the confusion on the live bait. we do have to order the live bait a day or 2 ahead if time and we do a completely different style of fishing with kites when we live bait. I didnโt see the live bait request in the fishing booker notification so we didnโt plan for that.ย we did catch 2 sailfish yesterday in trolling so eiether method does work well.
I will check with fishing booker to make sure there is a more obvious way to request live bait
