Very poor experience because we spent the first 1.5 hours trying to catch bait fish. The captain didn’t catch nearly enough and didn’t bring any other bait with him. So we ended our trip early because we ran out of bait early and didn’t have bait to chum with. We were given a $100 discount, but that was not what we wanted. We wanted to catch fish and the captain was not prepared. He should have spent some of the money that he was going to be paid on bait rather than risking our trip on hopes of catching bait.

Very disappointed with the experience, not sure if it was a miscommunication or what but I thought I made it clear we wanted to do inshore fishing mainly like snook, redfish, and trout but also if we had time, possibly catch a shark or goliath grouper. Captain Jack took us offshore right away which in his defense we were 45 minutes late but we still had 3 hours and 15 minutes of fishing time. Long story short we didn’t catch a single fish other then a small catfish at the boat ramp right before we got off the boat. I don’t wanna say it was completely Captain Jack’s fault we didn’t catch fish but it didn’t seem like he had very much motivation to help us do so. Would possibly be willing to give him a second chance in the future.

We booked a all day fishing trip to try an experience a nice day of fishing. Nonetheless Captain Jack was a few minutes late and didn’t seem like he had everything together. On the website it said he had 20 plus years of experience, but when asked on the fishing trip he had only been doing charters for a year an a half. I believe you shouldn’t be able to put that on the site unless you actually have 20 plus years experience. In all honesty I feel like Captain Jack wasn’t having the best of days because it just seemed like he was everywhere and couldn’t find the fish. On top of that we paid 800$ for the trip and instead of him attending to us he was basically fishing himself instead of making sure we was all fishing. I was very disappointed in the trip because it just seemed like a waste of money to catch maybe 10 fish on a 8 hour fishing trip with someone that has 20 plus years experience. I will not book another fishing trip like this. I hope everyone researches into their fishing trip before actually booking.

I must say I’m shocked you guys were so unhappy, you gave zero indication of that. I really wish you had said something, even though I felt the trip went well I would have given you a discount in order to avoid bad feelings.
1st: I’m not sure what you are referring to by 20 years of experience, it doesn’t say that anywhere on my page. I believe you are confusing my profile with another guys. I included a photo from my page where it clearly says I have 1 year of experience guiding.
2nd: I really take offense to you saying that I was “more interested in fishing” myself and that I was unprepared. That is just not true. Whenever there is a child on board I do devote the majority of my time to helping them and I did spend a lot of the time helping your young daughter. I only ‘fished’ in order to hook a fish and hand the rod to her (something I did a few times for her)
3rd: The trip started at 8 o’clock, before every trip I head out to cast-net live bait for the day in order to maximize fishing time. Sometimes it is quick, sometimes it takes a little longer. I was at the dock at 8 o’clock sharp and we left the dock within 5 minutes…. also we ended up fishing for over an hour extra for free.
4th: fishing varies, sometimes they don’t want to bite and you have to work at it in order to get fish into the boat. We did have to move around to 4 or 5 different spots. While catching several good sized snook, 6 keeper snapper and another 6 or so shorts is not a record breaking day, it could’ve been a lot worse.
