Kevin,

Time is always of the essence when you fish tides. The start time was 8:00am. When you arrived to leave it was already 8:15am. We left the dock 45 minutes later than the trip was suppose to start. Most center console boats don’t have restrooms aboard the boat. As I always do when you arrived and asked. I said I could take you somewhere to a marina or you could go to the gas station. You opted for the gas station. I carry life jackets that are Type 1 PFD. A young child wearing a Type 1 is very uncomfortable for them. I have Type 1’s for them in the boat. So there was always a lifejacket for the 9 year old. As I told you nothing is more uncomfortable or hot than a Type 3 for them to wear.  When you arrived if you noticed I actually had 3 Type 3’s for the kids. When it comes to fishing with 6 people it is very hard for the average fisherman to cast with 6 people on the boat. When there are kids on the boat. I assess their ability to hold and cast a rod and reel. To keep anyone from getting hurt or hooked it was determined that the adults would have to help the younger 2 kids. That put us at 4 rods out. That is for nothing more than safety. On several occasions I instructed the kids to make sure they kept their hooks outside the boat. On numerous occasions hooks were not kept outside the boat. At that point for safety reasons I decided to help them cast. Not only for safety, but to also help them get a good enough cast to get to where the fish were located. Safety is always priority and will always determine the number of rods out at one time. My apologies if you feel I wasn’t talkative enough. I feel like I got to know you and your family well from our conversations on the boat. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in CHS. Thank you.
