We had a great time on the 4 hour afternoon trip. Weโve fished Key West, Pensacola, and Orange beach so weโve fished a bit in the gulf. You need to understand that you will spend more time getting to the spot and back than you will fishing. Itโs just the way it is if you want to catch fish. The captain moved us 4 times to get on a good school and I was surprised he moved us the 4th time because he easily could have called the trip and went back. Be ready for an hour to an hour and a half ride out and 45 min to an hour of fishing and that time fishing will go fast. Listen to the instructions and rebait frequently. You cant be afraid to get your hands dirty and you will smell like fish guaranteed. Bring some Dramamine too if you are unsure about people in your group getting seasick. I ended up giving 4 different people some because they got sick. I probly wouldnโt suggest bringing children under 6 on a trip like this. The rods are a pretty good size. I know there will be at least one bad review from our trip because we heard a family complaining loudly that they didnt catch one fish, while our group of 3 slammed red snapper at 3 out of 4 stops. We noticed people who didnt want to bait there own hooks and who were uncomfortable with using a baitcaster. I saw a lot of people taking their time and not really putting forth the effort. This is fast paced. You bait and drop and reel up and rebait and so on. Itโs a bit of a workout if you arent used to it. The 6 hour trip is a much better deal if you can swing it. Also there are private family fishing trips for under 400 with other charters, so if you have really small children or arent comfortable baiting and using the rod and reel you may want a private boat where you will get more one on one time. The deck hands on this trip were great but itโs 3 people trying to help 40 people fishing. So you need to be able to handle your own business at times and cant be waiting around for them to bait your hook because your hands are too precious to get a little stinky.
