Great time! Caught 3 black marlin estimated to be in the 600 lb range. Good boat. Well stocked with food and beverages. Both captain and mate worked hard to get us our fish of a lifetime.
WHEN EVERYONE BOARDED THE BOAT WE LEARNED THAT WE NEEDED TO PURCHASE A FISHING LICENSE; WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED AT THE TIME WE ESTABLISHED THE TRIP. WHEN WE DEPARTED THE DOCK WE LEARNED THAT THE BOAT HAD NO BAIT AND THEY WOULD TRAVEL TO GET BAIT. THEN WE WERE TOLD BAIT WAS NOT AVAILABLE OR SOLD ON SUNDAY’S. WE THEN FISHED FOR AN HOUR IN AN ATTEMPT TO CATCH BAIT WITH NO SUCCESS. SPENT 2 HOURS TROLLING AND ONLY CAUGHT 5 SMALL FISH (ONLY 2 KEEPERS). CREW STATED THAT FISHING WAS TERRIBLE THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS. SPENT ALOT OF MONEY FOR A 4 HOUR BOAT RIDE AND CREW DID NOT CLEAN FISH.

First NO one includes fishing license because you can buy them for a year or a month or a week and my boat is the same price up to 6 people so imagine 6 people buying licenses for a year $300 so it is not my responsibility to buy your licenses and NO ONE DOES! Second when they got on the boat I told them the wind has been blowing for days and there is no live bait for sale but we can try and if not we can troll lures and they agreed to give it a try and we did and no bait like I told them so we trolled lures and did pretty good. Inshore fishing is smaller fish! You do not catch marlin and sailfish inshore! I told them what to expect and we did better then that and I also suggested to go offshore but it was to far and long of a day for these fishermen! Also just to say thank god the fish were not any bigger because they had a hard time getting them in!

Booked the boat for just my wife and I as she had not been out offshore fishing before. Weather started OK then turned on us so wasn’t the best of fishing days but I did land a Pacific Sailfish and had a Blue Marlin on for a very little while before it cut the line. Was hoping for a bit more interaction from Capt Tom and his crewman Jerry. Initially had stopped to get some live bait which was a successful stop and hoped to be used for tuna later—never used or explained. Description of boat and safety parameters would have been nice esp for the wife but was not addressed at all. Capt Tom did continue to work the boat around the rainstorms for nearly 9 hours but in the end, a very quiet day.

Never used the live bait for the tuna because we never found the tuna! Also the small bite that day was in the rain area and we wanted to get our client the best chance to catch so we stayed just outside the rain all day except for 40 min which had rain for miles!
Tom and Jerry worked so hard for us and in return we landed 14 of the 19 fish ! We had an amazing day and we will definitely be back and on the water with these experienced anglers !
