End of October Fishing Report!

Amazing method of fishing. They put us on the spots the bottom fishing was a bit slow but since we were yellow tail fishing they allowed everyone an opportunity at the back of the boat and helped explain how to fish. Overall everyone caught fish to keep and throw back and was extremely fun.

I'm still going to give Bud & Mary's party boat five stars because I love the marina, the captain and the party boat itself 100% but for the first time in 7 to 8 years that I have been going on this boat I was a little disappointed with the crew. Ive never felt like they played favorites until yesterday. There was a particular customer that is also a regular and he and his family we're treated like royalty and others not so much. One of the other guest from out of town and I had a long conversation about it. It was definitely clear to all the other guest as well. I won't stop going on that boat because as I said I really like captain and love Bud n Mary's. My son worked in the service industry for years so I believe in tipping but I'll tip according to the way I'm treated as well.

We were looking for an inexpensive fishing charter for the day when we drove by and saw the sign, $70 all day party boat. COVID restrictions limited boat capacity to 30 which was the perfect amount of people without being over crowded. The boat wasn't luxurious by any means but what do you expect for that price. Not a long ride out, about 45 minutes. The captain had us on fish all day! The deck hands, Ray and Erin were awesome guys and very helpful with anything you needed. All you had to do was bait your hook and catch the fish! Most of the day was fishing and not riding which was great. Definitely will be back! Thanks guys, cheers!
