Firstly, I would highly recommend Capt. Drew (bearded) as he was both extremely competent and engaging. The bite wasn’t the best, but Drew certainly did his best to put us on fish.
I will say that the ‘offshore’ nature of our trip wasn’t what I’d expected, in that we ended up just past the Skyway, still inside Tampa Bay proper. I would have thought we would have gone 9 miles past Skyway, assuming Skyway bridge is considered the rim of the bay. I do however appreciate that we went out 9 miles from Ruskin harbor, and so made a ‘run’ (toward) offshore. I that it would be better to spell that out more clearly in any online trip advertisements/description, especially when suggesting that one might get into Mahi or Black Fin on such a venture (an unlikely feat so close to Skyway). Capt. Drew did make it clear where we ‘could’ go before we left the harbor, so our expectations were sorted before departure.
Once more, bite wasn’t great, but that was probably because of lunar phase and the presence of dolphins (at our first spot especially.) I’m sure the spots Drew took us to are usually stacked. The fish finder was certainly lit up.
Overall, (as my ratings should suggest) I would highly recommend Poseidon charters and working with Capt. Drew in particular. Boat ride was great, and time out on the water with old friends (and new) is always something worth doing.
