Great trip and would highly recommend!!!

I’m a very experienced fisherman who lives on the Chesapeake Bay so I understand trolling and I understand patience when it comes to fishing. What I don’t understand is paying $750 for what amounts to a self-directed trip with a bus driver.  Ed was more than willing to have us drag spoons around for hours catching only a few keepers. He offered no suggestions on what we might do differently to make it a better experience. He should have talked to us to explain that perhaps what we were doing was the best option given his experience the last few days, but he didn’t. Rather than reading the room which clearly showed our frustration he waited until I finally could wait no longer and asked that we do something different.  It was then that his first mate Brian (aka Mungo😉) suggested we try shark fishing because they were biting earlier. So we took that suggestion and tried going after the sharks. Again after several hours with not even a bite Ed offer no suggestions. It was up to me to again say “Well this is a waste of our time let’s at least go back to drag spoons around for the last 2 hours and hope we catch a few more fish”. No suggestion at all from Ed on what to do. We were on our own. He was simply the driver. He probably said no more than a handful of words to the entire group while we were on the water. There were seven of us and we all agreed this was our one and only trip on the Lucky Strike. Throw a dart at the wall and you’re likely to hit a boat where the captain is more engaged and where you will have a better time than we did. Brian,on the other hand, did a great job of interacting with everyone and making the trip bearable.

Did not catch much today. I don’t blame the captain and mate for that but i also don’t think they tried very hard to get us more catches

Last year took Party Time and they were chumming the water and other attempts to get the shark on the line. This crew felt like “it is what it is” and then we paid them $750 to catch 5 Spanish and 1 shark
