Hi Kraig. This is Larry the Charter owner. Fist, thank you for chartering with Todo O Nada, we truly appreciate it. It was really unfortunate with the weather the day you were with us. Anytime its blowing 15-20 knots it can get uncomfortable. I'm glad you were able to use some of our jackets and foul weather gear on the boat. I wanted to answer some of your other questions and concerns. First, we certainly didn't pass you off to three different captains. Unfortunately Captain Frank had a family emergency, so we did have a back up captain, captain Jason (Many Charters would of had to cancel on you with no backup). I also know you may of heard that the deckhand didn't show up which is true, however we normally would not have a deckhand for a 4 hour trip, that would of been a bonus that you wouldn't of been charged extra for. So I hope you don't feel like you were a crew member down. If he was there, you would of been a crew member up is a better way to look at it. I also know the gear was well prepped as all the rods were set up the night before by the same crew member. All captain Jason needed to do was add hooks and weights once at the fishing grounds which is very standard and not idle time. Captain Jason also mentioned that he had you on fish the very first drop which I hope would be acceptable in that kind of weather and conditions. That would also tell me that the time spent to find the right spot paid off. The last bit of information I'd like to include is that normally for a 4 hour trip, the Captain would take you to the in shore kelp beds in and around La Jolla or Point Loma. Because these areas had been extremely slow, he wanted you all to catch some meaningful fish and took you to the nine mile bank which would normally be at least a half day charter with the fuel burn (its nice to have these options with a faster boat). From the pictures, it looked like you all had a good time and minus the weather, it was a successful fishing trip. At Todo O Nada Charters, we take our trips seriously and want all of our guests to enjoy themselves and experience what San Diego Fishing has to offer. I hope this helps answer some of your questions about the trip you received as we never want to earn a poor review. All the best, Larry
