Previously when my wife and I had gone fishing, we went with big groups of people that only had three deckhands to help out. This was our first private charter fishing experience. It was awesome. We originally had set out for a full day of fishing. We were greeted by Captain Tony and shown where the life jackets and the restroom were. Then, we set out. It took around an hour and twenty minutes to get to the first fishing spot. During that time, my wife decided to take a nap. He kept double checking with me asking if she was okay. When we got there, he hooked and baited three rods. On our previous trips, we had to bait our own rods. He did that here and was keeping an eye on all three.ย Within half an hour of being at the first spot, one of the rods started going. He got it started and then handed the pole to me. I caught a King Mackerel. This is by far the biggest fish we have ever caught. Not much else bit at that spot. He was keeping in contact with other captains and seeing how their fishing was going. Captain Tony gave the impression that he normally catches more in that short span of time. We went to another spot about twenty minutes away. In that spot, my wife caught a Remora. Remora are not good eating, so we threw it back. It happened twice where my wife got a hold of the reel and then it went slack from a fish taking the whole hook with it. We went to one more spot. There, my wife caught and released a Red Snapper. Since Red Snapper are not in season, we were unable to keep it. Biggest fish my wife has ever caught. We waited another half hour and realized that was going to be about as good as it got. We talked with Captain Tony, who had still been in constant contact with the other captains, about making it a half day. He agreed. The fish werenโt biting that day. When we got back to shore, he filleted the King Mack we had caught and recommended a restaurant nearby where they would cook what we caught. We ended up with between 12 and 14 fillets. When we got to the restaurant and they cooked all the fish, the cook asked who we had gone out with. We told him Captain Tony, and he said โOh yeah. Tony is awesome and knows his stuff. He usually does wellโ. My wife and I couldnโt agree more.
