What a fun trip! We booked our excursion well in advance, and the day turned out to be absolutely perfect.
Captain Jon was very responsive when we requested a change to the booking; he called two days prior to the trip to give us updated information, and we texted for location information (hint: there is no signage, and there is no โsuiteโ - itโs a boat, so be sure to get specifics from him before taking a trip to the wrong side of the dock!).
We stopped to catch bait before we went out to the open. Captain Jon and our deck hand were extremely enthusiastic to sight a huge manta ray with lots of cobia around it, so we stopped and tried our luck there. We ended up quite ways out, but we stopped several times on our way out to be sure we hit all the good spots.
We girls baited our own hooks, but didnโt remove the fish from the line - this was done promptly and cheerfully. The types of fish we caught were identified by Captain Jon and our deck hand, and they told us whether the fish were good for eating and how best to prepare them.
The trip back to the dock was amazing; my sister and I sat in the front and got lots of wind in our hair.
Our trip was successful and tons of fun.
