It was very windy and we understand the crew cannot control the weather or the fishing; however, 1 out of our 6 people that went out fishing touched a fishing rod. Though the captain was very knowledgeable we wouldn’t recommend this trip. We also booked an in shore fishing trip and got a shark fishing trip instead.

We were transferred to another charter due to their boats being out of servce. Which would have been fine if ANYONE would have told us. The boats were out of service days before we arrived yet noone informed us we would be using a different charter or provided us info to contact said charter. 7 am trip, we got there at 6:30 am, waited at the dock entrance gate for 45 minutes and called Salty Dogs a dozen times trying to get ahold of someone. The gate lock happened to be disabled so I eventually entered and walked aimlessly around looking for their boat slip. I found it but there were no boats there so we gave up and were returning to our car when we were asked who we were looking for. When I said Salty Dogs the gentleman said oh there boats are down you are going with me. WTF?

So ultimately we get on the water 30 minutes late, but of course we were off the water at the original scheduled time turning our 4 hour trip into 3.5 hours. To top it off we catch nothing on the trip aside from baitfish. Just an awful experience, our first saltwater fishing trip that we drove over 5 hours to take. I know fishing is unpredictable so I dont hold that part against the new charter company, but no doubt the worst $700 Ive ever spent. The lack of communication on Salty Dogs part set a terrible tone for the trip that was amplified by the absence of fish.
