“We didn't have a productive fishing day, we only caught one small fish, a big wad of seaweed and a piece of coral between the 2 of us, but it was a great experience. The staff and crew did all they could to assist everyone on the boat to make it a fun morning. We would do it again, the fish just weren't biting where we were. Others had success so all wasn't lost.”
