Horrible Fishing Experience with Captain Robert Broestler
-From the start he complained about us being 15 minutes early. He never introduced himself or asked us who we were. He was uninterested in making us feel welcome
-he was constantly yelling and cussing at us.
-He constantly snatched the poles out of our hands, and was pissed if we lost bait, the bait we caught. He insulted us for a fish getting off the hook.
-He would cast for us most of the time…which is part of the fun of fishing. Basically he fished, not us.
-Anytime a fish was lost he huffed and puffed with attitude and would use abusive language at us.
-He took 4 of our mahi mahi fillets without asking and then told us “I hope it’s okay but I took 4 fillets but there should be 4 full meals for you there.” — he has no idea how long our trip is or how many we are feeding when we get back. He never asked, because all we heard was him talking about himself or complaining and yelling at us.
-Once we got back and he filleted the fish he said “Here’s the total price, are you going to tip, cause I stayed over and now I’m already behind.” Which we never asked him to stay over. He made that choice. Mind you, we showed up early but still had to stop for gas and ice. the trip started at 5:30am. We started catching bait fish at 7:00am. So he wasted 1.5 hours of our trip. For him to make us feel guilty for that and expect extra money out of it is just ridiculous and wrong.
We helped him clean the boat throughout the trip so he wouldn’t have to “spend 3 hours cleaning up afterwards.” (his words).
Absolutely no one in our party was rude or cursed. We brought one small bag and no alcohol. We had no trash and ask questions politely. And when we did ask questions he made us feel dumb, like we were supposed to know the answer. We were polite and constantly felt as though we needed to apologize because of the constant yelling and insults towards us.
The experience was not fun. It was way more stressful than anything.
This was supposed to be a wedding gift from one person to another and Captain Robert ruined it.
We basically paid hundreds of dollars for the captain to fish, for him to keep our fish without asking first, and to be insulted and abused us the entire time.
