Zero fish in 6 hours- sad first experience

May-June Spring 1/2 day 1PM8 adults4 children

I brought my grandson out for his first fishing trip. We didn't catch a single fish over the course of six hours, which was heartbreaking for him. I still paid the full price and left a generous tip to support the crew, but I strongly feel a financial adjustment should have been offered given the circumstances. It’s a shame that a business charging this much didn't offer any compensation when a trip completely falls short. Charter captains generally cannot control the fish, but they can control how they handle paying customers. He was not disrespectful, but again my grandson left very sad.

    Great Birthday Trip!!!

    May-June Spring 1/2 day 6AM • 6 adults • 2 children

    The crew on the Mary Lou Too is absolutely amazing. I took my son and one of his friends out to celebrate my birthday. The crew made sure we had a memorable experience and we did just that. This was their first time rock fishing and they caught fish and had an amazing experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend the Mary Lou Too for your next fishing experience.
