INSHORE 1/2 DAY TRIP - Reds & Snook - 7:00 AM

Maybe just an off day…

GECONTROLEERD

We have been on several chartered trips. This was by far the least productive. Captain Paul seemed like a nice enough guy. The boat and equipment we all top notch. We caught next to nothing. The Captain baited hooks and put poles in the boat’s holders. We waited and watched. Fish cleaned the hooks…they were re-baited by the Captain, and he re-cast. We watched. It ended up being a very expensive boat ride. May have just been a tough day on the water…unfortunately we were the recipients.

Definitely an off day for sure. Plenty of junk fish mixed in with the reds and trout. Certainly not the quality or quantity I was expecting. Not what I would consider a typical trip. I appreciate you and the family coming out.
