My wife, son and a friend who is a fisherman, booked a 6 hour trip with Captain Andrew. My friend booked the trip. I have gone ocean fishing 4 or 5 times in my life but I am not a fisherman and had no idea what I was getting myself in to.
After a half hour or so boat ride Captain Andrew stopped the boat near a convergence of 100's of birds, many diving into the water. Andrew stops the boat and immediately starts casting lures in the direction of the birds. 30 seconds later, I am reeling in the largest fish I have ever caught and my friend is doing the same.
Captain Andrew watched the horizon all day while assisting us and kindly answering every silly question that was asked. When he saw birds converging on the horizon, off we would go, and so we did, all day long catching fish. We extended the trip to 8 hours and would have gone longer if the sun wasn't going to set.
It was the most incredible fishing experience and one I relive in my minds eye often. My friend, who has fished for 40 years, who has deep sea fished in Hawaii and California, trout fished in Montana and Oregon, and Muskie fished in Canada and Minnesota, said this was the best day of fishing in his life.
The experience was so great that before we left for the day we scheduled another 8 hour trip for later in the week.
Captain Andrew is a true professional and prepared to change plans on a dime. For him this is not a hobby or a pastime. The boat and the fishing equipment was top notch.
