Book with another company!!!

3/4 Day Trip2 adults

Even though I had multiple messages to CaptainJohn asking what was biting, what we needed to bring to be prepared (which he did not answer that question). They didn’t say much at all to neither one of us. I asked several question and first mate Sean was great and answered them. 1. Sean cut the head off our fish before we could take a picture with them!!! Sean chain smoked and there the butts in the ocean. 🤦‍♀️ 2. I spent 6 hours with no hat and sunglasses (blinding on a white fishing boat bc I did forgot it in the car. Not once did they tell me they had extra hats and glasses until we were paying in the end!!! Seriously!!! 3. They fished for what they wanted to. 4. Captain only spoke with me when I was paying, but that’s it. 5. Very disappointed with this crew. Will not ever book with them again. Zero communication except when I initiated a question . Waste of money! 6. On a positive note, the boat was gorgeaous and the AC was priceless.

Response from Charter operator

I am sorry we did not communicate better, but I had no idea you forgot your hat and sunglasses. Fishing was slow and we did the best we could for you. Your were always welcome to come up on the bridge and talk but you all spent most of the day in the air conditioning.

    Enjoyable 4 hours

    Half Day Trip (8AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    Went out with 2 teenagers, 3 adults and a 6 year old. 4 of us where there to fish. Boat was very comfortable with a lounge if you didnt want to fish. New experience as we usually fished for small fish on charters. Trolling was different with less to do for the kids with lines set up for dragging behind the boat but reeling in a few king Mackerel was fun. Explained to Tyler and Chris that we wanted to get rods in the kids hands and they obliged with some bottom jig fishing. Chris put us over fish and we pulled up some large Amberbass which was the highlight of the day. Kids had never experienced a fish fight like that. Highly recommend. Finished of the day by having the Mackerel cooked at a restaurant Tyler suggested. Excellent!

    Unreal trip!

    3/4 Day Trip • 5 adults

    Our crew of five from Montana had an incredible time on this trip. From start to finish everything was dialed -great communication, smooth logistics, and an awesome atmosphere. The guide knew the water extremely well and put us on fish. We learned a lot, caught quality fish, and had an all-around great time together. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience just as much as the catch. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing trip -we’ll definitely be back.

    Fishing Extravaganza

    Half Day Trip (8AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Chris and Tyler are awesome! Highly engaged and energetic, and made sure that my wife and daughter had a great time and helped them catch fish! I then got the opportunity to catch a Sailfish which got taken by a shark at the last minute…..but then I ended up catching a big one…..a large Bull Shark! What an experience and one that my whole family will never forget. Kudos to Chris and Tyler! Call them for your next charter, you won’t be disappointed! Ren and G!
