I'm hooked!! Literally!!! Captain Kyle and his crew are amazing. Music was terrific, food was great, big beer selection, and did I mention the crew? Deep sea fishing had been a bucket list item for me, so this was special.
We boarded the boat to find it clean, organized, and ready to go. Josh got all the rods rigged up on the trip from shore. While he rigged ours, he patiently answered all my questions. I'm a lake fisher so I was interested in the contrast.
At our first stop, Captain Kyle announced to us the depth and set us off. The spots were hot and we were catching fish line crazy! If there was the slightest lull in bites, we moved to the next location. As fish were reeled in, the Captain and crew (I feel terrible I can't remember the name of the third crew memeber) were right there to encourage and help. Notable catches were photographed by the crew as well as shipmates.
On the trip back, our fish were weighed for the pool contest (I almost won!) and then cleaned. Cost to enter the pool is 10$. The little extra cost for cleaning was sooooo with it. We had three in our party and the cost was about 45 for 30 big fish. I even kept the heads for stock.
My advice is simple: dress in layers, pack sunblock, and don't over pack because food and drinks are totally reasonable. Pack an ice chest and buy ice from the Pier. Lastly, have fun! We'll definitely be back to try again. read more
