    More than a 1/3 of the anglers' lines tangled in this mess.  This happened everytime a fish was caught

    [I sent this as an email to the business, called them to ensure that they received it and to respond. To date, I have not heard back from them] This business is definitely in need of improvement. I go on many fishing party boats in California, Boston, Hawaii, because I've found them fun and I enjoy fishing. I wouldn't take the time to write this unless it was important. This was the worst experience that I've had on any party boat. I know people say that it's called fishing and not catching, but this was called "unacceptable tangling". Here are the issues. The website or information needs to be updated. Parking costs $30 and not $5. I called the night before to find accurate fish counts and they didn't know the answer. I also asked Vicky how many were signed up for the trip before committing to a packed boat. I was told 7 had signed up. There were 31 plus 5 kids. I don't think that many people made reservations after 7.00pm the night before! If the boat is going to drift, there needs to be less people on the boat since everyone is made to fish on one side of the boat. There were 31 fisherpeople and if the boat is 70 feet long that means that each rod would be 2.25 feet apart IF each person had ONE rod. My friend asked the deckhand how many rods each person was allowed. She curtly said only one because can't we see how many people were on the boat. Eventhough her response was not very polite, she allowed a "regularl" to have several of his own rods with him and fishing with multiple rods at a time. She even told him when the boat was departing that he needed to reel up all his rods which meant she knew that he was fishing with multiple rods,further exacerbating the high number of lines on one side of the boat! I was using "dead" bait. I only got to send down the bait 4 times during our morning trip. My friend who had live bait, got to release his bait 3 times, basically once at each location. I spent 15 minutes waiting for the deckhand to come rig my line after it got tangled with at least 12 other lines and the only solution was to cut everyone's line that was in the tangle. Rather than explain to the first-times what to do to rectify the situation, she raised her hands and said "I cannot do anything unless you bring me your line!" What does that mean to a newbie? I then had to explain to the people fishing next to me what they needed to do. I wanted to re-rig my own line to help the deckhand. She responded very rudely that I just needed to be patient and wait my turn! There are some people who are experienced and can baiti and re-rig themselves. They shouldn't have to wait for 15-20 minutes to have only 2 deckhands handle the boat. During one release, I wanted to check my bait, the other deckhand told me not to reel it up since it would create a tangle. I was only allowed to reel it in if there was a fish on. Seriously?! Needless to say, when I eventually reeled it in, there was no bait at the end of the line. The only highlight was a pod of dolphins swimming next to the boat at which point, the Captain left his post and was on the main deck taking a video of the dolphins. This is the first time I've had a captain leave his post to video some swimming dolphins, eventhough as he claimed, it was on autopilot. Perhaps he should have been paying more attention to finding fish on the radar rather than putting the boat on autopilot and recording dolphins? I have enclosed some pictures of what the experience was like. It wasn't just the horrible fishing experience, but it was the rude service that made the morning very unenjoyable. There have been many times that I've not caught fish on a fishing head boat, but the experience was part of the fun. I cannot say that about this trip.

    At least the cabin is air conditioned

    Friendly crew, but that doesn't make up for the fact that I paid $170 for my son and I to go fishing for four hours only to have not ONE SINGLE person on this entire ship get so much as a bite. They didn't even offer anybody so much as a free bottle of water to compensate.

    Such a great time. Beautiful weather. Great vibe. Went far into the ocean. Very soothing and calming. Not too many people on the boat. Bathroom was not the cleanest and parking was messy. First time fishing. Caught 2 big snappers! Had so much fun. Staff were helpful and patient, especially Maria. Didn't take the fish home but you have the option and they clean them! Would definitely do it again.

    Untangling the lines took up most of the time we could've been reeling in fish if the boat wasn't so crammed

The best part is all the gear and equipment and bait is included for all paying guests. There's several trip options to choose from. Early morning, during the days and their late night trip. We have done all, and I prefer the late nights. The water is calmer, it's not as hot, and it's pretty relaxing if you ask me. The business operates daily, weather permitting. The boats are pretty big, they seem to be able to hold about 30 persons on the fishing level. There's an upper deck for a smaller fee, for people who do not want to fish, but go along for the ride. You're welcome to keep whatever you catch, depending the size of course. Once we cough a nurse shark, we were not able to keep it, but it sure had eveyone taking onboard! You're also allowed to bring your meals and drinks on board. It's definitely a party if you make friends with your neighbors and enjoy the tour. I'll definitely continue using this company for years to come.

The boat trip begins in the scenic intracoastal passing by stunning mansions until hitting the ocean by Port Everglades. As a novice myself, the crew is informative and helpful in teaching how to use the rod, fixing issues such as lines being tangled or snapped hooks, and identifying the fish. Cool learning experience too. They showed us a sucker fish as it strapped to the boat walls before setting her free. We went on a Friday at 7:30pm. The boat wasn't too packed and we claimed the front. Between 3 of us, we took home 4 fish. We caught a bunch more that were tossed back in the water -- baby sharks, and many fish that weren't of proper size. Great adventure even if you don't catch any fish. A very peaceful view of the skyline looking east and we caught moonrise to the west. Nice ocean breeze! After returning, they scaled and gutted the fishies for some fun cooking ahead.

After probably too much decision making, I chose a guide, only to have him cancel on me a day later (family emergency). He was kind enough to put me in touch with Captain Mo, and I cant imagine having a better guide. My wife and I made the drive down from Lauderdale, with the plan to sight fish for bonefish and permit- something I'd never done before. We've fished all over North America, but I've never had more difficulty than I did with bones. Guess my eyesight was terrible that day, and my casting wasn't great either. Didn't get a thing, and when I asked what else we could target, Mo suggested barracuda. Caught more than our share of them, mixed in with a shark or two. We only had four hours, but it was outstanding. Couldn't blame Mo for me not being able to hit the fish he put us on! Mo is a knowledgeable guide, and more importantly, a great guy. He made the day very enjoyable, and I'll definitely give him a call when we are back in town!

Then he said his wife would send it. Then it became his people sending it. And finally, he told me the money had already been sent -- which was simply not true. Since then, I've been contacting him repeatedly, asking for the refund I'm owed, and he has not returned it. I don't mind paying for the actual service. What I do mind is sending money by accident and being misled and ignored when trying to correct the mistake.
