Nighttime Snapper Fishing Charter in Hollywood

This was a belated Father's Day Gift for my husband. This was the fishing trip from Hell! We did the 4 hour Night Snapper Fishing. The captain did say the water was going to be a bit choppy, but we get that from other fishing trips that we've gone on so we really didn't think anything of it. Shortly after we got out into the area where the captain could go faster, the boat was up and down in the water; it was very rough. Then I started to see about 3 people getting sick. The captain couldn't find a good area to fish. I would guess to say that there were very few that caught any fish, maybe 5 or less. Towards the end of the fishing, my husband actually got sick, as well and we sat next to a few other folks that got sick on this trip. I feel they should have given us a free fishing trip for another day, or discount on maybe the next trip, not that I would take a trip with this company again. Once we got off, they were pushing hard that we still tip the mates, which we would have done anyway, but the whole trip was horrible. They should have postpone the trip until calmer waters.

Almost everything that could go wrong did

Night started off ok. However it took a long time to get anchored in a good position. We we finally started fishing we were in water so deep the lines did not reach the bottom. After getting stuck and losing a good bit of fishing time, we were told that we would get additional time and head back to the dock later to make up for lost time. That did not happen we actually ended up coming in earlier because of a problem on the boat. The generator was not working right and we ended up doing the little bit of fishing we did in the dark. People were using their cellphone flashlights to see what they were doing. I would not expect a refund but maybe something off the next trip should have been offered.

Seemed as it if was a very new crew. Bathroom window fell out and was out most the trip. Aft lighting wasn’t working, was a short so it was fishing in the dark on the stern. I can count on one hand how many fish were caught… and yes that is fishing but a head boat taking out 35 people should be able to manage to atleast put us over a reef to catch some fish. Crew didnt seem very experienced. Thankfully it was only 70$ but I would not recommend going with this outfit again. Just seemed like a lack of effort and it was basically just a boat ride.

Good evening, I am getting off the charter from tonight. 6/16. List of problems: -No safety brief could be understood because the PA system was shorting out. -No introduction from the captain. -Not enough deck hands to assist in detangling lines. -Someone smoking weed in front of boat blowing it all towards my kids. I had to ask him to stop so he went upstairs to smoke by the captain who did not give a crap that someone was smoking drugs on his boat around kids. -Bathroom window fell out and landed on my wife and kid and was not tinted at all so everyone could see you go bathroom. -Lights on back of boat shorted out so we fished in the dark. -Limited fish were caught. -Very very poor experience. -Everyone on boat stopped fishing early because nothing was getting caught or bitten. - I have chartered fish before but this was by far the worse experience. And now I have emailed twice and no one will even email me back.
