Thanks Mother Nature! - We were suppose to go out on the 10 hour trip, but Mother Nature had other plans. That trip had to be cancelled and we went the following day for a half day trip. (One day I will do the 44 hour trip!). Unfortunately, it was still a little windy and catching wasn’t the best. I only caught 4 (3 had to be thrown back because they were too small) my husband caught one. Due to the wind and the boat drifting caused a lot of “catching other people’s lines on the other side”. Still was fun because we were out there! HUBBARDS is my favorite place to be!! So very tempting to pack up and move down because they are hiring!! Bonus: Captain Dylan was there as we were walking up and he has THE…COOLEST…TRUCK!! Lots of pics and lots of fun! We still went next door and had our fish cooked up! Oh my….so so good!!

Great fishing trip! - This was a great fishing trip! Caught some fish and the deck hands were very helpful. Fish were filleted right as you get back. The Friendly Fisherman will cook them up for you. Be prepared. If you need to rent the equipment it’s $10/person/rod. That was not mentioned in the write up about the activity. Also bring cash. You need to tip 15-20%!

Fun 5hr fishing trip - Great 5 hr fishing trip. The deck hands were very busy helping everyone and they were all smiling and seemed to be having a good time themselves. Excellent directions on how to use the fishing gear. And, we caught a lot of fish. Having them cooked at your restaurant was also a highlight.

Great experience - A fun day on the water even though it wasn’t a big catch day for many. My husband and I caught 4 snapper which we enjoyed for dinner. Crew was attentive to our needs. Only improvement would have been to have more guys on hand to filet the fish afterwards. We waited in a long line.
