  • 4Cheaper Alternative For Fishing Fun

    This was well organized and a very fun day. All the crew were polite and friendly while dealing with 40+ people. Caught grey snapper and porgy which are very tasty. Walked a few places down the pier and had them cooked, so wonderful eating them fresh. Good day, met nice people, watched nature and caught fish.

  • 5Don’t expect to catch...

    Don’t expect to catch large fish. Small fish, pan size like mangrove snapper are more likely. August is very hot! We were disappointed the mate did not keep track of the few fish that we actually caught and put them on the wrong stringer.

  • 3Mixed Bag

    It was a nice trip. Definitely needed Dramamine! The crew was good. A mixed bag in terms of enthusiasm. The woman on land who greeted passengers at the beginning and shepherded them into lines for fish filet was ill-tempered and clearly hated her job. Watched her the day before as well when we went on shelling trip. Similarly ill-tempered. Trips like this are sort of like a restaurant - if the appetizer and dessert are terrible, it really casts a shadow on the main dish even if excellent. She should do better or find other work.

  • 5Great time on 5 hour fishing tour

    We had a great time on our 5 hour fishing tour. The guides on the boat were a great help with everything. They showed us how to fish, gathered the fish we caught and helped if we got our line caught or anything while fishing. I would recommend getting the shrimp live bait. We took our catch next door and had it for lunch. We and just about everyone on the boat rented rods and they worked well.
