Half day trip

Half Day Trip (AM)6 adults

The captain is a nice, friendly guy and accommodating. The first thing he asked in the morning was if we were hungry and if I wanted him to make us some breakfast burritos, I thought that was pretty cool. Weather was a bit bad and the water choppy, so fishing wasn't that good but we did move about 3 or 4 times to different spots, so effort was put in to trying to get us the bite. The boat is comfortable with plenty of room to relax in the cabin and plenty of elbow space on deck. The tackle and gear is fine for a 1/2 day trip but if this had been a full day or overnight trip It would have been lacking. The only suggestion I would make to any customers is that they have younger kids to have them wear life vests if you bring them along. As I said the water was choppy and rough and I looked outside from the cabin and saw my dad sitting on the rail at the back of the boat. I had to yell at him to get him inside just before the waves really started rocking the boat. Adults need to look after themselves and not be babysat, but I would have still expected one of the crew to tell them that wasn't safe in those conditions while the boat was moving. I would have given 5 stars, but there were some issues with one of the crew. I'm giving Art the benefit of the doubt though because he said one of his guys was new and I'm assuming the guy we had the issues with was the new one.

    Overnight trip

    Had a great time fishing with Captain Art, Andrew and Greg on the Osprey. Fishing was tough and we only caught a few dorados but it wasn’t due to lack of effort by the crew. The boat is spacious and comfortable, the crew was knowledgeable and very friendly. I would definitely book another trip in the future.

    September fishing trip

    3/4 Day Trip6 adults
    Response from Charter operator

    I sorry we didn't have a productive day. A 3/4 day trip gives us 8 hrs total. I gave you 10 hrs looking for palegics. We covered 65 miles looking for kelp patties. but only one was found. In heinsight it might have been better to fish local kelps, instead of boring trolling. However when successful the payoff is much better. My crew are commercial fishermen who have 30 yrs experience ea. I don't know what critique you have, but they tried hard to find something.
