While it was not a great day for fishing, no birds on the water, no weeds, hot and flat, it was a good trip none the less. i have never seen a crew work so hard to get us fish! Despite the conditions, we hooked about 8 or 9 but lack of our own experience caused us to lose most. We got a 3 foot + barracuda to the back of the boat before it flipped off, and boated a small blackfin tuna and 2 nice yellow fin jack. Captain Charlton gave some pointers to our crew to help turn “fish on” into a catch and we started getting lucky. They gave us a full 4 hours fishing because he didn’t want us to have a poor experience. He and his mate were first rate, my sons and grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I would definitely go out with them again!

Thank you for the great review. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the trip.
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We’re glad you had an enjoyable trip.
They were nice people but ultimately, I don’t believe they were very good fisherman. I didn’t touch a fishing rod the whole day. We trawled the whole day and it seemed to me that the captain was traveling far too fast for a fish to take a bite. When we were nearing the end of our charter without a bite, they didn’t have any other options to provide, like bottom bouncing with baits or even surface casting. The fishing lures looked out of date. Fishing lure design has come along way and I was surprised by the old style of lures they were using. Not shockingly we didn’t catch a single fish.

It is always disappointing when we don’t catch fish, both for the guest as well as the crew who pride themselves on their catch. Capt. Charlton has over 30 years of fishing experience and is one of the most productive Captains in the local charter fleet. Since your review was posted almost a month after your trip, we cannot comment accurately on any of the details but wish to clarify that you were only out for a half day/4 hr. charter. Our equipment is up to date and proven to attract fish. We change out riggs depending on the target species. We only offer sports fishing and don’t carry equipment for any other type of fishing. Fishing, no matter how hard the crew tries, does not always lead to catching, and unfortunately there will be slow days.
