One guest shared their excitement after a fantastic trip, complimenting the captain’s expertise and determination to maximize fishing success, promising they would gladly return. Another angler recounted an enjoyable day with Captain Danny despite windy conditions, locating feeding birds and abundant fish. Their main objective was to catch redfish, and their efforts were rewarded with four redfish in under 20 minutes near the end of the trip. While catching one slot-sized fish was their ideal, they were thrilled with the catch. Additional catches of speckled trout and sand trout rounded out their haul. The trip’s highlight came back at the dock, where a sand trout rig led to landing a large alligator gar after a tough, ten-minute fight. The guest thanked the crew for an exceptional experience.

Melody and the team expressed gratitude for the guests’ reviews and looked forward to welcoming them back soon.

Another customer praised Captain Ghana for his attentiveness, patience, and fun personality throughout the trip. He also shared interesting historical facts during the ride and provided clear guidance to ensure a smooth fishing adventure. The guest thanked Captain Ghana enthusiastically.

Melody and the Get Hooked Charters (GHC) crew thanked the reviewer Brok for sharing their positive experience aboard with Captain Moe and expressed hope to see them again.

However, not all reviews were flawless. One customer reported a frustrating booking experience, initially reserving a trip with Captain Mike based on stellar reviews but later was reassigned to a different guide operating out of Hitchcock, which was communicated only 30 minutes before the scheduled trip. The assigned captain’s behavior made the guest’s companion uncomfortable, and the fish cleaning service was subpar, with fillets poorly cut and fish tossed into the cooler without organization. Despite catching three fish on a beautiful day, the overall impression was disappointing, and the review expressed dissatisfaction with the service and booking process.

In response, Melody expressed surprise at the negative review because they had received a thank-you message from the customer following the trip, noting the captain had even extended their time on the water due to slow fishing. She explained the booking location as being correctly detailed in their communications and clarified that multiple captains operate under the company, so no guarantee was made for Captain Mike. Regarding language onboard, while captains adapt to the group’s style, the crew strives to maintain a respectful environment. Melody invited any further questions to be sent via direct email.

Additionally, Jonathan from Captain Experiences offered an apology for the unsatisfactory experience and assured that a full refund and discount on a future trip were provided in hopes of offering a better outing. They have also addressed the issues internally with the team to avoid recurrence.

On a positive note, another recent guest shared their delight with a trip led by Captain Danny, praising his knowledge and enthusiasm. They mentioned they would eagerly book with him again, stating the experience was well worth the cost.
