Upfront sadly we came back empty-handed. The weather wasn’t on our side: sizeable seas and poor conditions that made it hard for the fish to play. That’s why they call it fishing not catching.
What stood out was the crew. They worked hard the whole time, keeping things organised even when nothing was biting. They stayed professional and upbeat instead of just going through the motions.
The boat was in good shape and the gear was good, rods and reels and tackle were well maintained and ready to go. Setup and handling was competent.
If you’re judging the day only by fish in the cooler, this one was a miss. If you’re judging the operation — boat, kit, and how hard the crew tried — it was a good trip. Boat will take 4 comfortably with six rods fishing. Will be booking again for a few days next time.
