Recommend For Sure
I'm solely writing this because fishing booker keeps asking me to. It was a very rough day at sea so we had to stay in the bay -- we did try and go out but we turned around promptly with the 8 foot swells at the end of the bay. This was totally understandable but it felt a bit like it was all an exercise to check a box, say we gave it a go and suddenly our 6 hour deep sea charter became a 6 hour bay trip at top dollar. We didn't think we'd catch any fish but eventually we did!! We caught around 10 fish. Mainly ladyfish and hardtails, a keeper bluefish and a keeper Spanish mackerel -- which was awesome. We were so stoked the bluefish and mackerel as our biggest objective was to catch fish for dinner. We did have 6 hungry guys so it obviously was shy of how much we'd need, but hey, such is fishing. I think next time it would be fun to try and switch tactics to try and get into the hunt with some awesome charter guys who've spent countless hours on those waters but I don't think they had the authority to. It was super cool to step into their world as-is but never really felt like we got to experience them doing what they loved. We did talk about trying to catch a shark (surely that would give us enough table fair for dinner) but it never materialized. Aside from the fishing, we had a great time overall and I would recommend Knot Right. On a better weather day, I think we'd probably have a great day fishing, too. The thing I'd recommend most to people booking a boat is to cover yourselves by knowing the cancellation policy. Tropical storm Arthur threw everything around and we should've trusted our guts and preemptively canceled. Maybe the boat should've let us know our trip wouldn't be the same as we'd hoped in the days prior, that no other bots were heading out and that there was a high likelihood we'd immediately turn around. Or maybe at least discussed with us beforehand so we could decide whether we wanted to fish in the bay instead. Just my thinking. 10/10 recommend Knot Right!
