We had a great time on our trip on board Riptide. Deck hand Sean Siniard was absolutely fantastic and is what made the trip. Sean’s interaction with our party and his energy and effort was non-stop. Not only was he constantly in motion trying to establish the best bait and lures for the rods but was very caring in the efforts to help my son as he became dehydrated. Thumbs up to RipTide and to Sean Siniard.

We went out the morning of July 4th.  While trolling out we were able to bring in several king mackerel, once were out for bottom fishing Seth was able to put us right on the Reds.  We had a great family outing and the deckhand Gage done an awesome job as well.  We will definitely make another trip!!

We had a good trip with Captain Seth and his mate Brian. The Captain took us right to where fish were and we started catching them right away once we hit the spot. We knew that we were going to a catch and release area, and had a good time there. The next time I would probably change the time though and leave early in the morning. It would have been nice to have had the time to fish in two locations and have some fish to keep with us.

Captain Wilson and his deckhand provided a very fun, entertaining trip despite the weather conditions. Seth is very honest and told us that the weather might impact our fishing trip, but said he would do his best to get us some fish. We ended up catching one per person and this made for an exciting part of my best friend’s bachelor trip. I’d highly recommend this crew and trip without a doubt! Can’t wait to book again in the future.

Our captain was a true hunter. If they weren’t biting he wouldn’t waste his time and move to another spot. When we were catching fish they were good sized but they were all about the same size so off we go to another spot. The fish are getting bigger. Maybe we want to stay here? Nope let’s see if we can find something bigger. When I asked how big the fish were going to be the deck hand said “How big of one do you think you can handle”. Ok we pull up to the next spot. The first hit was within seconds. Both my friend and me have something that’s trying to pull us out of the boat. My roommate wrestles with one of these big fish for about 15 minutes and everyone is watching. She’s gets it almost up to the boat and the line breaks. I had the same thing happen. The next fish on is the one in the picture. I fought it for about 15 minutes as well. I got it up to the boat and the deckhand said we couldn’t keep it. We reached our limit. We caught so many fish we lost count. The challenge of bringing up one these is a thrill I can’t explain. It’s kind of funny. I picked the boat because they said it had 2 air conditioners not knowing what to expect. This is the best fishing trips I’ve taken and I’ve been out on many. When you get off the boat you’ll be happy to tip the Deck Hand!
