We did a full day. Had fun, but wish it was better. Almost 3 hours traveled in the water to fish, fished a few spots, then traveled 3 hours back.. Would have Iiked to actually fish more, but I guess they were trying to get us to "good" spots. They were short staffed so everything felt rushed, and they wouldn't take the time to take your picture with the fish. I know that may sound bumb, but for people that don't get to go fishing like this often it's kind of a big deal. They did take the time to pass around their tip buckets though, multiple times, and stressed that was their only source of income.... Also annoying that the captain let's their friends on the boat that take the better spots on the boats, chain smokes the ENTIRE time, and brags that he gets to be there for free as long as he helps some, but he fished 99.7% of the time. I mean.. I helped the dude beside me several times... my trip wasn't free... We were told no food was allowed and we had to buy from the galley.. Well apparently we were the only ones told that.. Everyone else had food/snacks they brought on the boat. The galley food was fine, but would've preferred to save the money and brought our own stuff. Once off the boat, you get herded with your fish to be weighed for cleaning, then you take it, pay for it and wait.. Well the lady gave us the option to pick up our cleaned fish the following morning. She said we can go straight to the cooler and they'd be cleaned and ready. That didn't happen, guess they had one to many beers and forgot. (They were openly drinking when we left the fish with them.) Luckily I checked before we left and the fish had not been cleaned... Doug saved the day. He was getting another boat ready and took the time out to clean our fish to make it right. I don't not recommend them, we just got them on a off day I suppose.

Great operation! Been going for years and never disappoints. Super professional crew and the captain works hard day in and day out to put us on the fish. Best opportunity to get out to the blue water without spending a couple grand on a charter. Our last trip we even were lucky enough to get on a sailfish!

How Many Fishing Rods Are Allowed For People To Bring?

I think you can bring as many as you want, within reason... but they only allow you to have one at the rail with you while fishing.
