I've never been on a deep sea fishing trip and had to catch my own live bait on the way out. We spent the first 30 minutes catching live bait fish from under the bridge. There weren't enough rods for everyone and if your line got tangled they didn't have another one ready to use. Didn't catch enough bait fish so we ran out pretty quickly once we started fishing. The deck hands only put out the trolling lines after I spotted a school of fish hitting the top of the water. We caught a few Red Snapper and Amberjack (out of season) within the first two spots, but left even when the fish were still biting. Captain Dale slowly went from point A to point B to point C etc, even when the trolling lines weren't out. (I guess he was conserving fuel) When the first line broke, there wasn't one rod ready to swap out so that you could keep fishing while they fixed it. With two hours left the deck hand assured us that we were going to stop at another spot to catch Red Snapper. We never dropped another line in the water or stopped. We trolled the whole way back. Seems like we could have fished at least one more spot on the way in. We arrived at the dock 30 minutes early. I've been on other boats that get you from point A to point B quickly so that you get more time with your hook in the water actually having a chance to catch fish. The fish were biting, the boat wasn't fishing. During the six hour trip we caught 5 Red Snapper, 3 Spanish Mackerol, and 1 Bonita between 7 people. When you pay $1400 you don't expect to have to catch your own live bait, leave late, and come back early.
