Not the trip I had expected, was expecting to use live bait, and get bigger fish. I understand fish don't always bite and it's all based on the fish and conditions, first off our captain didn't introduce himself to any of us, he didn't know any of our names, he rarely spoke to us, he actually spent alot of time on the phone. After getting out on the water we trollied around in circles for most of the trip only landing 5 Spanish mackerel and 1 bluefish. The 4 of us that was on the boat all felt like we was a burden to be there, the mate was a 14yr old boy which he did a good job for his age, the captain raised his voice at the mate a few times. It was more of a expensive boat ride than a experience! 2 of the 4 of us ended up not fishing (just reeling it in) cause they was just not having a good time at all. The trip was a HUGE let down on what we expected, waste of time and money!!! Called Captain experiences to let them know that it was horrible, they talked with the captain and reasoning for everything was the water conditions, IF this is the reasoning then why did the captain not wait till later to go out? The only thing they could offer was 10%off our next trip! Don't recommend as we all felt like they was more into it for the money than the actual experience!!!!
