Let me start by saying I’ve been on close to a dozen charters and this was 10times worse then any other I’ve been on. We were to leave the dock at 6am for our 8 hour trip. We showed up and the captain was not even there yet. We didn’t leave the dock until roughly 6:40. Once out we got into a few small Spanish mackerel which quickly died off. After close to an hour with no bites I suggested we try a different fishing method possible bottom fishing. We stopped for a very minimal time maybe 15 minutes and the captain seemed to be in a hurry to get out of there. He never even shut the motor off, once we took off he had mentioned other charters were getting into kings so we were going to head to that area to fish. Which we did not. The last 4 hours of the trip was unbelievably awful, we might have had 2 bites. I had mentioned to the mate 2-3 times about trying other methods(which I should not have to, that’s his job) after being ignored once or twice, I decided to ask the captain, who I also had mentioned 2-3 times about changing course and different types of fishing to which he replied, “well what do you do for a living” that was enough for me along with other comments. Not one guy that went enjoyed it, in fact 2 of them slept for almost half of it. Finally the mate changed colors after 2-3 hours of nothing only because I asked. It was such a miserable trip we didn’t even keep the 3 or so 10-14 inch fish we had caught. We got right off the boat. I would not recommend this trip to ANYONE. I am a veteran myself to which he says he caters to, I would not recommend this charter to anyone. Stay away. EDIT I will review this again since the captain would like to call me a liar. He showed up at 6:10 and we left the dock at 6:40. This guy and his operation are a absolute joke, he does not even deserve to run a charter. This is coming from a business owner myself who also works in the outdoor industry. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this liar!

Captain briefly mentioned the waters would be rougher than usual but acted like it was no big deal. Waves were bigger than the boat and everyone got sick. Caught one fish and that was even difficult because it was impossible to stand up without falling. Even the crew was having a difficult time standing. When I asked the captain about it he said I should have said something before we left the dock. Given that he is the experienced fisherman I feel like he should have told us this was a horrible day to go out and been upfront about it. We would have happily rescheduled. The only bright spot was the incredibly friendly and compassionate deck hand. The captain’s first words to us on the other hand after hearing us puking for 4 hours were that he had it worse than us because he was up higher. Do not recommend.
