Disappointing Day:
We chose the 12 hour fishing in the Gulf of Mexico @ $80 per person which includes rod & reel and bait. We originally wanted to use Galveston Party Boats Inc. but both of their boats were being used for 36 hour deep sea trips.
So, I had called Friday to make reservations for the three of us. I was told that if anything changed they would call to notify me. Well, we arrived at the boat and when we went to buy our tickets we were informed that this may only turn out to be a 4 hour bay fishing trip because there were 5-6 foot swells farther out. We still had to pay the full amount but would get a refund of part of it if we only stayed in the bay.
I’ll have to admit it was a pretty rough ride out. 2 ½ hours of up and down and up and down with an occasional sideways roll thrown in. Personally I loved it, but I’m the type of person who could spend all day riding roller coasters. About ½ of the people on board were hanging over the rails, in trash cans etc. evacuating whatever they had eaten for breakfast (and I think some were even going back 2 or 3 days worth of breakfast LOL).
Well after that things went fairly downhill. Instead of going out 40-60 miles we only went out about 30 miles. Then instead of the captain going out and finding good fish he just went from oil platform to oil platform, he would circle the platform using the fish finder, if he found a school of fish he would drop anchor for us to fish. However, 95% of what we were catching were Angel fish and Spade fish, occasionally someone would catch a sand shark. A few Red Snapper (a.k.a. Redfish) were caught but since they are not in season they had to be thrown back. I caught a 25 lb. Redfish that put up a nice fight. I didn’t mind throwing it back as I’m just a sport fisherman and throw everything back anyway.
So, we spent the day oil platform hopping. Pretty disappointing. Needless to say we won’t be using Capt. John’s fishing anymore and I don’t recommend them to anyone.
I will have to add this, you could not bring any food or drink on board but they had a snack bar with excellent prices and the deckhands were friendly and helpful
