When I booked a red snapper fishing adventure, I contacted the captain the day before to confirm. He assured me we were still good to go. However, upon arriving at the boat, he informed us that due to windy conditions, we would be fishing for redfish instead. This was the first time I heard about the change, and I was disappointed that I wasn’t notified earlier, especially since I drove 14.5 hours for the trip. Our group noticed that all the rods were set up for inshore fishing from the start. The captain mentioned having to attend a graduation, so I wasn’t certain if a snapper trip had been planned initially.
On a positive note, the captain successfully guided us to catch our limit of redfish, totaling 28 fish. He was very patient with our children, even when they frequently tangled their lines and one even dropped a rod into the water. If you're interested in an inshore fishing experience, Captain Troy is a reliable choice. However, I paid the full price despite not fishing for the species I originally booked. While I understand weather conditions are beyond his control, we saw other boats returning with their snapper limits around the same time at the marina.
Overall, it was an enjoyable outing, but communication could be improved. Safety is always a priority, and though other boats might venture out, the captain prioritizes avoiding potentially unsafe situations, even if that means making difficult decisions. I appreciated the day on the water and would be interested in booking another trip targeting the species originally planned.
