Captain failed to warn us about weather that caused extremely rough seas and takes us out to ten foot high waves. He decided it was too rough for him after ten minutes of fishing and My deep sea trip I booked turned into a just off the shore fishing trip without any discussion or refund offer. I am looking for a quality experience with honesty not a company that just wants to take your dollar....

Justin was professional, once explained the basic rules,he disappeared into cabin until we landed. No access to captains helm was granted, so we couldn't see instrumentation etc. Brandon worked hard and was very pleasant. Was surprised that we had to have fished cleaned by third party. Also surprised that 4 hr trip was dock to dock. All my past trips started at start time and we were fishing until time was up. So...

Also surprised that 4 hr trip was dock to dock. All my past trips started at start time and we were fishing until time was up. So we paid for drive to site and they gave us return trip. Actually we only fished 2 hrs. Captain worked hard to keep us on fish. They were very small, but he warned us they would be.You need to be much clearer on your web site about fishing time and fish size, also you clean your own.
