We had an amazing time with Captain Wise on our trip. There were 6 of us that wound up going out on the water. It was incredible to have almost a "personalized" trip with my family members, and not have to worry about fishing alongside 50-75 other people on a giant boat. Totally worth the money.
Within 30 minutes we had lines in the water and started reeling in some good sized Spanish Mackerel! After a bit of that, they threw out the shrimp net to try and get some good shark bait for our ultimate catch. We got some good bait and also some really good sized shrimp for dinner that night!
After reeling in a lot of the smaller fare, we really wanted to try for a shark. My brother and I have been huge fans of Shark Week since we were kids, and it would have been amazing for my teenage son to experience.
Sharks are an elusive bunch. I was really hopeful of us being able to land one, but was completely understanding that it was not as easy as they do it on TV. So, fingers were crossed!
About an hour later, BAM! Line went taught, and I told my brother to start reeling it in! Boy, those things are so much stronger than you realize! About a 20 minute fight on the line, and Dan hooked that sucker and pulled in a beautiful 5 ft. long Black Tipped shark! It was absolutely incredible!! We measured it, took some great pics, and sent her back on her way!
After that it was about time to head back to shore. We were all on Cloud-9 for the trip back in. It was such a great experience, and the guys were such a good crew to go out with. Great conversation, beautiful open water, and lots of action to be had! I can't recommend these guys enough! Well worth the money! read more
