Tim was great! He made sure we caught lots of fish. The toilet on the boat wasn’t working but I’m still giving 5 stars for Tim!

We did not go with Captain Robert. We went with Captain Tim. Captain Robert called me the day before the trip to confirm the fishing trip and our plan for the day. We were to meet at the dock at 6:00. The day of the trip, Captain Robert texted me and said we would leave at 7:00 due to the weather. On the way to the dock, a got a call asking were we still going on the trip. I informed them that we were on the way and I was told to be there at 7:00. When we got to the dock, we had two Captains waiting on us. We were informed that there was a mix up and we were going with Captain Tim. We had to stop and get fuel, ice and bait. We trolled near shore and hooked up with a big fish. A dolphin took our fish. My oldest son got seasick. Water was very rough. We returned my son to shore. We started trolling again. Every time we hooked up with a decent fish, dolphins got our catch. We did catch several Bennita's. Alarm on boat started going off. We checked the motor and Captain called to attempt to trouble shoot. Both motors would not start. Finally got motor started but ran with one motor. We could not go to better bottom fishing spot due to running one motor. We came in early due to one motor and alarm going off constantly. Terrible experience! Screwed up from the start.

Hey Chandra. We already spoke over the phone but wanted to apologize here as well for the last minute change in boat & captain. When Robert's boat broke down at the last minute, we worked with him to get you out with Ryan because we know that boat breakdowns can be the letdown of a vacation. Sorry for the change in plans, and we're glad to hear that you had a good time with Ryan!

The trip was an incredible and unique experience.
The boat was clean and well maintained and Capt Robert was great!
He worked hard to make sure we got some fish to take home and taught us fresh water fisherman a thing or 2 about ocean fishing.
Absolutely recommend.
