We had a great time fishing together as a family. The crew was very friendly and helpful. Always available to take fish off our lines and answer questions. We didn't catch a ton, but were able to a have one meal of various fish. It was a beautiful day and we saw lots of other wild life such as dolphin swimming right along side the boat! It was awesome! We will definitely do this again next time we're visiting.

Elbow to elbow

I would not recommend taking this trip unless you don't mind trying to fish with 95 other people with two staff members to help. I am an accomplished fisherman and I didn't pull in one fish, not even a poisonous one! With 5 of us who fish all summer long you would have thought that we would have caught more than one very small keeper. You have to change your bait every 2-3 minutes and you have to shimmey past all the other people who are standing elbow to elbow to get to the bait. Most fish caught were not keepers and the biggest one I could have easily caught in Nebraska in one of our beautiful lakes. Most definitely a different species but still. The restrooms are not convenient since they are on the side of the boat where everyone is standing elbow to elbow trying to fish. The limited staff that was available were OUTSTANDING. Hats off to Tim, Chris, Tom the Captain and Jack in the galley for doing their best! The breakfast burritos are fantastic! and the beers were cold.

The crew was very helpful from putting the bait on to cleaning the shark that was caught. They were always doing something to help.

This was great. The family and I had much fun. The staff was very helpful. We got tangled a couple of times and they were "johnny on the spot" to fix and take off the fish. Highly recommend this group for any family.

Good time!

the boat crew was great! organized from the time we checked in, the crew were helpful with lines, poles, bait. it was great to have live bait. some of the 'regulars' were nice and friendly, too, but as we were first timers to this type of fishing, the regulars grabbed the best places to fish on the boat and not until the very end, my kids were given the opportunity to fish off the back of the boat. my 11 year old son was extremely disappointed he was the only one in our group who didn't even have a hook up. it was a nice boat ride, as we saw seals and flocks of pelicans.

Great crew, veryyyyy helpful! They start off the trip giving a demo on how to use the rental gear. then they come around and put weights on everyones lines... even if you didnt rent the gear from them. They will untangle anyones lines, help you bring fish in, bait your hooks if you have trouble, etc. very friendly crew and the captain really tries to have everyone catch something, he even stayed out an extra half hour or so on our trip because it was a bad day. Galley had good food at a very reasonable price. Anything you catch they will also fillet and clean for you at the end of the day for $1 if you choose. The fishing was poor that day however. we went in late january and there was about 20-30 fish caught on the whole boat but it was often the same 4-5 people. our group consisted of 5 people and we caught one fish between all of us. But I would definitely recommend the trip, just check the daily fish counts on their website for a good day to go.
