Nice guide and courteous. Not sure what exactly happened to make the Captain so late by an hour. Complained about getting the bait and some other issues. Trolling motor did not work so it limited us to anchoring in a spot with live bait. Caught very few fish and he did try several locations. Disappointing in time we got out to fish.
