| this is a great trip for kids although NOT great for catching good fish to eat.
The smaller kids under 6 really need to bring their own poles if they are going to catch anything...
The first time we went our 4 year old loved being the bait girl. The second time we were on a different boat and she could not REACH the bait therefore she got bored. The rental poles are way too big for her.
The bait was also way too big for the bottom feeding fish which are always the ones we like to eat... It is a bit pricey for a family of five even on Sunday when kids are free it cost us close to $200 for the half day trip for everything and we did not even get any fish to take home and cook....
We would like to try a different time of day maybe twlight is better, but then it will cost us even more.
The crew was great and very helpful....
We will be going again sometime in the future... |

| Two things:
We spent about a fourth of the trip in a rough patch of water. Myself and few others got sick. Once we moved to smoother waters, I had a great time.
The experienced fisherman were allowed to hog the back of the boat. I felt that it was a good old boys' club with these guys and the crew.
That's why I rated the experience a neutral.
Thanks, Randy |

| I arrived early enough(2 hours ) to sign in as #1 and #2 on the boat roster, had a lite lunch at Turks, even thou I got in line to board the boat, it seems for what ever reason I was one of the last person to get on the boat, I got stuck on the front of the boat all night, the crew did not call for a rotation, the boat was very full with first time anglers, most of them had back packs on and it was very difficult to get to the bait tank.
Overall, its always great to go fishing, but the crew could have done a better job with a rotation and the confussions for the first time anglers.... |

| My husband and I decided to take this trip fairly recently. The reasonable price and Del Mar's proximity to our home (in the Palm Springs area) made the decision to go a no-brainer. We ended up getting so much that we had bargained for: a beautiful day on the ocean, sea lions in their natural habitat, and, most importantly, priceless quality time together without any of the day-to-day interruptions. Thanks! |

| Although the weather did not cooperate the captain and crew did their best to find fish. Even though I am an experienced fisherman, there were novices aboard who could have used some coaching. I always wondered why these party boats don't use the time while travelling to the fishing grounds to give a fishing tutorial to those who need it. It would make their trip more enjoyable and encourage repeat customers. |

| I would suggest that if the boat will be fishing from the top, the rod rental should suggest casting type of rod. It's frustrating when everyone is catching fish by casting and we only have bottom fishing rod rentals. |

Wouldn't ever book again!

| Boat was packed yet the crew managed to fish right along side with the paying customers!!! NOT GOOD!!! PEOPLE ARE RUDE, one lady even got hit on the head by another person on board. I'd seriously re-think booking this one! Honestly I'd like to say something good...even the fishing wasn't that great. Not too many ppl caught anything legal size...maybe just a hand full of ppl...oh wait that was the crewmen. My bad. |

| hotter than heck but the fish were biting. Everysingle fish I caught had to be thrown back because they were 11 inches. Ilove being on the boat out on the ocean even though I did not bring home anything this time. Everyone is helpful. |
