4 Hour Beginner Troll Fishing - 12:00 PM

The boat was fine and the two mates were great. However, when they took us inside the cabin for instructions and closed the door it was hot and the water was tossing the boat so much that 3 of us got sick and had to vomit multiple times. The 3 other adults also felt queasy. It would have been better to leave us outside for the instructions.

Oh Henry we are so sorry that y’all felt seasickness. That is definitely not fun. We did not realize y’all were hot. The air conditioning was on and functioning but apparently not cool enough for you. We are happy to hear you enjoyed Matt and Jordan. We think they are pretty cool. We know you have many options in Destin and thank you for trying the Big John of Florida.
