However, my experience was anything but pleasant. I was greeted by a lady who, when I didn't know everything, berated me. To make matters worse, as she got off the call, she hurled offensive remarks at me. Salty fisherman are one thing, but being rude, condescending, and calling people four-letter words is absolutely ridiculous. They were complete ***. Avoid this company if you want any semblance of respect or professionalism.

So disappointed in the fishing trip. We went out for a day trip for salmon/bottom fish. This was…read morethe first ocean fishing for 3 of my group. It was the lack of communication that was most frustrating. No welcome aboard, no info on how long it would take us to get to the fishing grounds, no info on How to catch fish, no tips, no help. The 2 guys on the crew spent most of their time with one guy fishing off the bow. They obviously knew him, don't know if he was a friend or staff or regular, but he had a great day. Got full attention and pulled in many fish. Nothing for my group of 4. Captain did not tell us we were done salmon fishing just bring it up and off we went. None of my group caught salmon. The bottom fishing was fun and we were on the fish but we only fished for one hour. Nobody told us we were heading back just reel in. Of course we all "got" fish to leave the boat with but this trip quite frankly sucked. There are a lot of charters at Westport, don't take a chance on a bad day. Try another boat.

The skipper actually dropped the anchor to fish this spot which something that I have not seen on the ocean. We used live bait (anchovies) which kind of surprised me, but it was effective. We used light gear with 10 lb test line which was really a hoot. From there we moved a short distance and fished for flounder. These fish were small, but we were motivated because the flounders were to be the bait for our true target, which was ling cod. After the flounder we moved to another spot in deeper water to fish for ling cod. This spot was in deeper water so we couldn't anchor but the skipper did a great job of keeping us over the fish. We limited out with 2 nice size ling cods per person and a few extras for the crew. The deckhand did a great job keeping us rigged up and baited. He also filleted all the fish for a good price and did a great job. The only downer was my mistake. I like to follow the track of the boat using my phone and a marine map. Apparently, this is a huge no no. They are concerned with people stealing their spots. I totally understood the skippers concern, so I turned off my phone and put it away. As angry as he got, I'd think he would put up a sign or something telling folks that gps tracking is verboten. Or maybe something in the terms and conditions. I would definitely go bottom fishing on this boat again. The skipper has good knowledge and boat skills. If there are bottom fish to be had, he will put you on them.

There are a bunch of charter fishing operations out there. Here's what I'll say about Tommycod:…read more It was a strange morning of turbulent waters (there were a lot of calls on the radio to the coast guard for assistance that morning) and shy fish. Still, in spite of carrying a boat of half seasick passengers who thought they knew best regarding what they wanted (myself of course included)--which was to go home and kiss some land--Captain Tom kept on. We finally found an area where the bottomfish kept biting and magically delivered not only more fish than we needed (though we didn't hit our minimums which.. according to my uncle who's done this before with Tommycod and according to the proud captain.. is unheard of) andddd best of all the sky opened up and the seas settled down. All went home happy, feeling much better, and hungry for fish. Also of note, their max passenger number to 6 which makes for a tight knit bunch and individual attention. Thanks, Capt Tom and Carlo aka Cub!
