Our captain was very patient, instructive and funny with our group of novice fishermen.  Everyone caught fish and had fun.  When you arrive at the dock, walk right up to the boats to spot out your fishing guide.  We hung back from the pier by a bench and made ourselves a little late.  Our trip was July 4 at 12hr. We knew it would be hot.  Definitely bring hat, sunblock, frozen bottles of water and try to get wet (with a dip in the ocean) before you go on board.
