4 hour trip

6 Hour Trip AM - Spring2 adults

First was disappointing to learn after I arrived at the dock that the 6 hour trip was cancelled due to not having 15 people signed up to go. I understand why- but I should have been notified that the 6 hour trip was cancelled so I wouldn’t make an unnecessary trip there. I was offered the 4 hour afternoon trip which caused us to change our plans for the day. Then to only learn that the “catch” is divided among all the 56 people on board-

Response from Captain

We tried several times to contact you on the phone and even called Fishing Booker. The phone number you gave us was a bad number. My secretary tried 3 or 4 times and I, Captain George Pfeiffer, called personally myself. So, if you didn't get notified of the change it was because you didn't provide the correct information for us to meet your needs. All of our six hour trips are given the choice of keeping their fish separate if they want to but on the four hour trip where clearly the majority of the crowd has never done this before nor has any knowledge of the use of a fishing rod or how to fish it is totally unfair to let one individual or a small group of "EXPERT" fishermen catch most of the fish and then carry all of them home. In order to be fair to all aboard, we clean the fish and split them up evenly amongst everyone on the boat "IF" they even want fish. As a matter of fact, I asked you and every one on the boat today and every four hour trip "Is this good with every body? Does any body have any objections or any other ways they want to do it? Speak now or forever hold your tongue". YOU, sir didn't speak up today but you sure want to try to slam me now when nobody else can see or hear you on the boat. That isn't fair either. I would have gladly made other arrangements for you specifically had you said something when I asked. Our goal is to please every body. Every one else had a GREAT time today. Sorry we didn't live up to your expectations. Feel free to try another fishing company next time.

    Now that is fishing!

    4 Hour Trip PM - Summer12 adults2 children

    We brought a group of 16 to Action Charters. It worked really well. We caught a good amount of Beeliners (Vermilion snapper). Enough for a fish fry with hush puppies for everyone. The captain was very professional and knew his spots. The fish were good-sized. The four-hour trip was our test trip. Even the younger kids, who did get a little board, now want to try the six-hour trip. Well done! Looking forward to the next trip! For a walk on a head boat, this was just perfect! The AC in the cabin was also a big hit for the in-between times. We brought PB&J with chips and drinks, which was excellent for our group. Thank you, Action Charters.

    Mom's Day Out

    4 Hour Trip PM - Summer1 adult

    I brought 4 girls 21 and under here to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and thought after that, I deserved a little mom time. I booked for an evening fish initially, but the captain called and said it was canceled, but he was so sweet to get me on a morning fish. This was my first time deep sea fishing. We caught our limit of snapper and headed back before a storm hit. I would highly recommend this trip. The crew was amazing and the captain knew what he was doing. I would give 10 stars if I could.

    Better than i expected

    6 Hour Trip AM - Summer2 adults

    Didnt really know what to expect when I booked this for my son and myself, but I’m so glad I did. The experience was top notch. Deckhands were exceptional and the captain was not only ON THE FISH, but had a great personality to boot. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be rebooking on a return trip to Perdido.

    Good trip giving the conditions

    6 Hour Trip AM - Summer3 adults

    I was worried about the weather and finding fish but Captain George put us on fish right out of the gate. we had out limit in no time. Even with the high seas he kept us on fish and did an excellent job getting us back safely. I would highly recommend this to anyone beginner or experienced fishermen.
