Amazing fishing experience
Our group of friends has an awesome time fishing with Skipper Mike and The Red Boats. We took home 12 fish after 3 hours of fishing and it was our first time fishing. We recommend the pilchard bait from Sailors Supplies near Pier Z where the boat departs.

First time fishing the ocean
Only downside was the long ride to get to our spot, 2.5+ hours so meant less time fishing but probably why everyone on the boat caught keepers.

Evening Fishing
I'm disappointed that there was too much cruising and very little time for fishing. I think fishing should be focused close to the harbour for short fishing trips

Fishless fishing
Inexperienced vessel captain and crew. Spent most of the day traveling from spot to spot with minimal fishing time catching under sized fish. The crew prioritizing their own fishing spots on the vessel with little respect for paying customers. I don't recommend this service.

可能冬天没鱼吧
时间花了，但是感觉没过瘾，上了六条snapper，大小不合格，等于啥也没钓到，一船上的都是snapper，就我边上韩国人带走了三条
