Not what was expected
We struggled to get the captain to reply to messages to book. The captain was talkative at the start of the morning but as the day went on and we weren’t catching any fish-he became very quiet which made it all the less enjoyable since we only caught one fish each. I originally asked to specialize in smallmouth bass but he didn’t seem to know much more about catching them than I did. At the end of the day, the Captain said “well I can say this was my worst day out ever”. We get that he can’t make the fish bite, but I had my own boat in town-I could have done what we did out in my own boat and saved the $155.00
Randy, thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry your trip didn’t meet your expectations. Unfortunately, that day was one of the toughest fishing days we’ve experienced all season. I spoke with several other guides and local anglers afterward, and they all reported the same slow conditions. As guides, we can control our effort, equipment, and commitment to our clients, but we can’t control whether the fish decide to bite. I’m also sorry if I became quieter as the day went on. My focus was on trying everything I could to find fish and make the trip successful. Looking back, I understand how that may have affected your experience, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. We truly value every client and always strive to provide the best experience possible, even on difficult days. I appreciate you giving Halligan Outdoors Guide Service the opportunity, and I wish you the best on the water.
