I understand fishing is fishing but for 750 I would expect the fish to be completely cleaned we ran out of bait only got 4 black snapper and the rest of the fish was to small nothing against captain Tim but I really was expecting better results I recommend if you are looking to catch a good amount to bring home and fry I don’t suggest
wow. I guess all the talk about yall breaking off the big ones were lies. I suggest if you want bigger fish, become better fishermen.. below I’ve included pictures of the same day with different fishermen.
I’m VERY curious on how I would have gotten 5 stars here. 6 people, 12 Reds 2 mangroves. Bites ALL DAY.
First off it says you can book up to 6 people, I would not recommend that on this boat, it’s a little small for that amount of people and he only takes 3 poles so yo have to take turns. Trip started at 6:00 AM by the time we got from fort Walton to destin harbor, fueled the boat, and set in a bait line waiting to buy bait it’s after 7. Not a terrible trip for snappers but definitely not a shark fishing trip. Not wanting to beat the captain up he seems like a good dude but he said we could fish for snappers for a little while before we started shark fishing and we agreed. The bite was slow which there was nothing we could do about that, we went to a couple different spots. I think he said like 15 miles from the harbor. The snapper finally started biting and we caught 8 keepers, but We didn’t tie on a shark rig and half a mackerel until the last 15-20 mins in the trip and didn’t get a bite on it. We did have a shark bite our red snappers off a few times while we were reeling them in, that was the extent of shark fishing. Just putting this out there to give people a little idea of what to expect. Like I said it isn’t anything personal against the captain, he is a good guy and will try to put you on some snappers but if that’s what you want to do is go out drop it down until it hits bottom and reel it back in, just book a party boat for $75 bucks.

You’re definitely right, I should have brought you to the lip and let you pull on a shark alot sooner. What you didn’t take into effect, where we did go, we hooked 3 sharks. We catch them with out “shark rigs” everyday. And your “5” hour trip, was actually 5 hours and 50 minutes when we took less than 10 at the marina. Thats 40 minutes extra time. As for sharing rods, we share, so there won’t be tangles which happened anyway, with the 3 rods we did use. if we only shark fished, we would be sharing “1”. Definitely a learning experience, next time someone wants to shark fish… im bringing my 1 shark rod and that’s it. and when ya say, can we catch something else while we wait, ill say no sir.. we are shark fishing..
