Great family experience. We are not fishermen, but Robert and Wyatt were great to work with! Wyatt was very experienced and helped bait our hooks when needed. Our boat caught 5 or 6 sharks and everyone had a great time! I would highly recommend this activity for families!!
Enjoyed the boat ride with the Family. Went to 3 spots and caught a baby hammerhead and the boat caught 10. Wyatt was a terrific help and would definitely do it again!
Turned out we were fishing for baby sharks with baby shark fishing equipment. Most of our time was spent moving from location to location because the baby sharks weren’t interested. The poles were small and the line was tangled badly inside the reels, allowing for just enough length to get the line into the water. One lady in the group actually hooked a shark that was around 2 1/2 feet long. She got it to the surface and her line snapped. Just before our time was up, I got something large on my line that bent the tiny pole almost double and snapped my line as soon as I began to reel. Overall, this may be an enjoyable excursion for young kids but if you’re an adult actually looking to go shark fishing, choose a different company.
I am glad that sharks were caught. We catch a variety of sizes and sometimes lines will snap. The equipment that we use is sized for sharks in the 10 to 25 pound range. We do catch smaller sharks and sometimes bigger sharks than that but that is the size fishing poles we have. If you make the equipment too heavy it won't be fun to reel in the smaller ones. I am glad there were a lot of sharks caught even if only the small ones were biting last night. Thanks for fishing with us.
The captain and Danny were great. We started off not catching anything but we moved a couple of times and started catching sharks.
Thank you for fishing with us!
Lack of help- for a group of 20+ , 1 person is not enough to refill bait and help untangle poles -sat in the same fishing spot for the entire time. 5 out of 20 or so caught something within the first hour or so then nobody for the rest of the trip. Other charters we have been on moved to a different spot if nobody’s catching anything and usually if you’re at the back of the boat , you’re catching something . Not the case for this trip. Boat bathrooms normal size but no soap or sanitizer in sight . After baiting hooks and hand smelling like fish , you would want to clean up a bit but not available on this charter. Did see some dolphins out in the channel. The sharks that were caught were hammer head and black tips. Size 1 foot to 1/2. If you have been on in-shore fishing trips before , you want to look somewhere else.
Thanks for your input. What you don't realize is that the captain is in contact with six other charter boats that are fishing in various places out in the sound where you were fishing. If the other boats are telling him that they aren't getting a bite he is going to stay put, even if you are only catching a few sharks. There are fresh water buckets at various places on the deck to rinse hands, sorry you didn't see them. It can be hard to please everyone on a fishing boat but I am glad sharks were caught, dolphins were seen and everyone had a safe trip.
It was geared towards kids, but still a great experience. We didn’t catch anything, but others did. Good value
Depends on where you end up on the boat you’ll either enjoy the shade or bake for 2 hours. Why they couldn’t turn the boat around to let others have some shade as well, assuming everyone paid the same. Captain was aware as he came out and asked how everyone was doing on hot side of the boat
When the boat is anchored, it will only sit one way with the current. I'm sorry you were on the sunny side and I wish we could turn the boat but that would require anchoring the boat from the stern and that can't done. Thank you for fishing with us.
Caught fish and the time underway wasn’t too long. The crew was responsive and they continued to provide bait.
Thank you for fishing with us!
Fantastic time - Jennifer and her son Ricky were incredible - very supportive, celebrated along with us at our catch. Great tour - fun had by all - plus Ricky jumped in to catch one of the sharks - jk. Honestly - I’d give 6 stars if I could
Thank you and hope to see you again next time you are in town!
Was a very fun & relaxing time together. Some of us caught sharks and some of us didn't but that's just fishing!
Thank you for fishing with us!
