We booked a 3-hour inshore fishing trip at 10:30 AM for 2 adults and 1 child, and overall it turned out to be a fun and memorable family experience. We arrived at the location a little early, but unfortunately my phone had no network connection. Luckily, the booking information included a photo of the captain, so we were still able to recognize and find him without needing to call.
The weather was sunny and quite hot, but once we got on the boat, everything felt exciting. We do not have much fishing experience at all, but the captain made the trip easy and comfortable for us. He helped guide us through the process, so we were able to enjoy fishing without feeling confused or stressed.
During the 3-hour trip, we caught 23 fish in total, mostly white trout, plus one red snapper. For beginners like us, that felt like a very successful trip. Our child also had a great time, and it was a nice family activity that felt different from our usual outings.
One thing I would mention for other families is that the boat had three seats, so it worked for our group, but fishing while standing was a little difficult for me. I tried to stand and fish, but I became very dizzy and ended up getting seasick. Because of that, I would suggest bringing motion sickness medicine if you are sensitive to boat movement.
Also, 3 hours may feel a little long with a child, especially on a hot sunny day. For a similar family with young children, I would probably suggest booking a 2-hour trip instead, or choosing a time slot that is not as hot.
Overall, we really enjoyed this inshore fishing trip. Booking a captain made the whole experience much easier, especially for people who do not have much fishing knowledge or their own fishing equipment. It was fun, simple, and memorable, and we are already looking forward to booking our next fishing trip.
