Awesome fishing memory
Duo captain/captain father/son Paul/Eric piloted the boat and prepared the fishing gears as well as helped baiting and removing the fish. They also educated us about the different type of fish.The meeting place is easy to find (need to book the parking through an app), Paul went through the pre-trip safety procedures before we took off … (we initially booked a 4-hr in-shore tour but they offered to take us off-shore with no extra charge), about over half an hour we stopped at an artificial reef (with only one bite), then go to the next (caught some), then the next (caught more), then the fourth stop where we caught red snapper left-and-right almost every time we dropped the line (totally 16 kept and at least 15 releases due to under-sized). Returned trip was about an hour, Paul + Eric cleaned the fish for us. I had taken a “party boat” fishing before but that had more waste time due to the large group of people dropping the lines and got tangled. Yes, the charge is higher for this trip but the memory is priceless. We strongly recommend Double D (D for Douglass) Fishing Charter.
Hi Nick, Thanks so much for your kind review and for booking with us (almost a year in advance). We very much enjoy having families on Mermaid One with us and you guys were wonderful. Thank you also for the gift you made for us. It will be part of the treasure we hold dear from our time in the Gulf. Your family's enthusiasm really bouyed the boat and helped make the experience what we strive to create. Thanks also for the stories of your beginnings in the United States and finally, thanks for the opportunity to meet your daughter, grandson, son-in-law and yourself. We wish you safe travels wherever life takes you and hope you find the fish are biting wherever you decide to drop a line. We look forward to seeing you guys again and wish you all the best of luck. Captains Paul and Eric Douglass
