We booked a trip with Captain Paul for a Tuesday and the process was quite simple. Due to some scheduling issues, we rescheduled the trip for a Thursday, which was our initial preference. Due to weather, we were concerned that the trip might be unpleasant, but Captain Paul kept in contact with us and we only delayed the start of the trip by 15 minutes to allow the weather to clear. My wife, two 12 year old girls, and myself got on the boat and Captain Paul explained what we would be doing and answered all of our questions. He had a cooler of snacks and drinks available for our trip, as well as more than enough bait. As all of us were novices, Captain Paul worked with each of us to learn how to cast and where to cast. Eventually, we all caught a couple of fish (i.e., sheepshead, catfish, red drum, and mangrove snapper) and released them. I had even more success? catching mangrove limbs due to errant casting! Throughout it all, Captain Paul kept us informed, assisted us when needed, and made it a very enjoyable evening. We strongly recommend this charter and are definitely looking to book again when we have friends and relatives visiting.
