When I chose Miss Molly, she wasn’t least expensive nor most expensive, but 28 yrs in this business and larger boat than most. But here’s the thing, I felt her pride of craft without the ego, bravado or competitiveness of several of my other choices! I simply wanted to cross my very first item on my bucket list for 42 yrs now, catch a shark! didn’t care how big or small nor the species. So reviewing the weatherbug app and communication from Miss Molly about heavier winds in the afternoon, would I want to join 6am trip instead. I explained it really couldn’t work with our schedule, and she said, “Ok”. However, my wife had let Miss Molly know, wasn’t interested in any other fish, only sharks! This is where the fun starts…. in her and Capt. Bruce’s generosity, even though I paid fee for one of 5 fishermen, I got Captain Miss Molly and Captain Bruce ALL TO MYSELF!!! A 500% increased value that I couldn’t have afforded even though my desires were selfishly my own, they didn’t do what I saw some other guides do in my past, CANCEL the trip! They did NOT do that, and I was gobsmacked at their generosity, AND how beautiful of people these two are!!! So before Monday, I prayed for 3 things, 1. That the waters would be calm and still; 2. If possible, I’d catch a bigger than normal shark, and 3. that I wouldn’t get my usual seasickness. PRAYER WORKS, as did my patch I asked my Dr to prescribe for me, he did!!! Where she took us was roughly 50 minutes at 12 mph, and both her and Capt Bruce could NOT believe the calmness, I confessed to praying! And as they put rods out, we got a false bite on first rod, but 2nd bite was LEGIT! I got put onto a chunky fish, but the way it fought, thought it might be a halibut, or a ray?! Super strong, not even like a Red, really strong, but low and behold, it was a VERY large Leopard Shark!!! And a few times it managed to wiggle loose and onto deck, it was right out of Lethal Weapon scene LOL 😆 BUT honestly, we could have returned to base!!! Of course we didn’t, but doggone it, Miss Molly lived up to my expectations and so far beyond! I know from buddies, fishing for sharks WITHOUT CHUM, can be hours and hours of waiting and more praying! Not here with Miss Molly, we weren’t in the water but maybe 6 minutes before I was on my dream shark! But even whilst waiting on the gate for her to bring me aboard, I saw a mother and daughter coming up with bags of fish meat to send home! They both had huge smiles, so I guessed, “Were you out with Miss Molly?” They were, but with those smiles, my question was all but rhetorical! I was even more excited as they recounted the highlights of their trip!!! I digress, next we got onto a brown smooth-hound shark! So not only did I get one species of shark, now I got TWO! I ended up catching 4 of those plus my “Boat Record” Leopard Shark, estimated at 4 to 4½ ft, possibly 50+ lbs too!!! After that we all decided to try for some other species, and before you know it, time to head back to Harbor! BUT one of the live bait bites I had just off the bridge, I felt MASSIVE flat fish POWER!!! Unfortunately I didn’t convert to a solid hook-up, but that was on me alone!!! So here’s the bottom-line, IF you want to feel like a VIP, IF you want two incredible people guiding you, and IF you want to avoid any ego or competitiveness, and she has a spot open??? Choose Captain Miss Molly and Captain Bruce, just the boat ride and conversations alone were worth it, I kid you not, no matter what, Lord willing I’ll have many future opportunities to return for another one, but lets be honest, you and I both know I’m gonna try and do an individual all day with these two out to sea for Tigers or Great Whites Hahahaha 😆
