Contacting the captain to verify the trip and get detail directions to the dock and boat was hit and miss.  After four calls, I finally managed to contact Cpt. Watson and he provided verbal directions late the evening before our 0530 departure.  Once we found his boat, he told us to load up our stuff and we could go.  After driveing past the jetties, we fished for bait for about an hour ( I did ask to buy bait but none was available) to get enough to go off shore.  Three hours after leaving the dock we finally dropped our first line to catch some fish.  Although the first two location were not productive, we finally manage to find a spot with some red snapper.  Caught our limit in short order. Then the Cpt. said we were moveing to another spot. . . He never asked what we wanted to catch…. just fish here and catch this.  !  The mate was young and tried his best to accomodate, but at 17 had few communication skill. Fished offshore for about to hours, then back to the dock.  We tried to politely critique the Cpt. and the mate, but they seemed more intrested in taking pictures of the few fish we caught than listening to anything we had to say.
Very disappointed for the price charged.  Yes we did catch some fish. . . but that’s why we hired a “professional”(?) charter.  Guess there is no standard other than catching a few fish?  Not my benchmark!  Titian
