The experience was great, captain had the equipment ready and told us many new facts about fishing, however all the fish we were catching was too little to keep. We had to let go almost all of it and ended up with only 4 fish that just made the 12 inch size to keep. Captain took us to different spots, but it didn’t help much. It was way below our expectations as we had much better catches in other places…”
