I really liked Fredโs captaining. He wasnโt controlling but he helped and let you do your own thing. If you wanted to cast your own he was okay with that and my wife needed help and he was happy to do that. Iโve met a few charters that if you got snagged or tangled while casting they would be upset. Thatโs not Fred, heโs calm and willing to help and he seems happy to do it. The boat was great! I wouldnโt eat off the deck but heck who would itโs a charter! But we felt comfortable the moment we walked on. His equipment isnโt the most expensive but it more than gets the job done. I saw someone earlier say it wasnโt up to their standards and that guy must hold some high standards. Because at first I couldnโt cast under the trees to save my life. And by the end I was hitting right where I wanted to. I also donโt think that was my skill but the good equipment
We caught 6 Sea trout in a matter of seconds when we pulled up to the spot. He cleaned them and got to take them home. We also caught a snook which was fun! I wasnโt thrilled with the amount of fish we caught but I also know some days youโre just luckier than others. I think Fred is really really good fisherman and knows goods spots I think the fish just didnโt bite all day. But heck thatโs the way it goes. We also got to watch him collect his bait which was a unique experience! I would normally be upset if the charter got bait while we were supposed to be fishing but Fred kept us about an hour and half past our 3 hour mark so we had more time then we signed up for.
Overall like I said I think the boat and captain are great! We limited on trout so I was very pleased but I think for other fish the day just wasnโt right for them. I would love to try again with Captain Fred!
