Caught some red snapped

Me and the wife had a blast

We did this as a family fishing trip. Our booking had to be changed due to weather and rough conditions, but the captain was great about calling to communicate and rebook us. The first thing I noticed is how clean the boat is. The crew obviously takes a lot of pride in their vessel. We did the early morning 6 hour trip and caught the boat limit on snapper. It was really fun to watch the deck hands hustling all around to grab the fish as they were brought in. The crew fillet the fish back at the marina, which is great, but you do need to bring extra cash for this. It’s a very reasonable rate for the time and mess they save you. One group was trying to bend the rules on how fish is divided and the crew handled it well. I imagine this is a daily issue of people not listening to the pre-trip instructions and wanting to do their own thing. We had a group of 7, so went home fillets from 14 snapper to cook that night. It was a wonderful trip. You can’t bring electronics or phones which is a little sad because it’s not easy to find disposable cameras these days. We were able to take pictures on the dock. I imagine it’s much safer to not have people distracted while fishing hooks are moving everywhere, but it’s also to protect their fishing spots. It’s unfortunate they need to do this but they need to protect their business. We would do it again. It was worth it.

My only comment would be that there are no electronics allowed and while this is likely similar to other charters and understandable I was not aware until night before. I was told the deck hands would take photos however that was not true nor really realistic due to how busy deckhands were during fishing. So no pictures of children’s first fishing trip. If this is important to you plan to bring a camera without GPS capabilities. However the overall experience was great and I would absolutely use them again I would just nuy a camera so I could get photos.
