点评:I booked a trip for my teenage sons, by brother-in-law and adult nephew for the morning of July 11. The captain called the night before and said that there was some rain in the area but that it should be relatively calm. He also said that if anything changed he would call me before our scheduled departure. When we arrived, there was no mention that the seas would be rough. Once we were out of the inlet, we were immediately hit by rough seas, and for the next five hours it was misery. While getting to the trolling grounds, one of our group needed to use the head but was told it was out of order. He had to sit on a bucket instead while getting pelted with spray and trying not to fall over. Shortly afterwards two guys got seasick and it only got worse when we started trolling in what I would guess was 5 foot seas. We trolled for almost two hours without a fish but a lot of puke. We then came back in closer for some bottom fishing that produced a few fish the size of my hand. At about the time we had to head back, the sun started peeking through and the seas were fairly flat. We received a “sorry” it wasn’t good fishing when we got back and had to fork over $1100. No fish, two sick guys and pooping in a bucket wasn’t what we had in mind when we booked this charter. I know there’s no guarantee when you book these fishing trips, but this was a miserable experience for everyone and a good captain should’ve known it would not be a morning to go out. Really wish he would have called that morning to cancel or reschedule, but he just took my money and went on to the next one. My family comes to OIB every year, but I won’t be going fishing with Captain Austin (or Joe) again.
翻译:我为我十几岁的儿子预订了 7 月 11 日上午的旅行,由姐夫和成年侄子预订。船长前一天晚上打电话说该地区有雨,但应该相对平静。他还说,如果有任何变化,他会在我们预定的出发时间之前给我打电话。当我们到达时,没有人提到大海会波涛汹涌。一出入口,我们就被波涛汹涌的大海袭击了,接下来的五个小时里都是痛苦的。在到达拖钓场时,我们小组中的一个人需要使用头部,但被告知它出现故障。他不得不坐在水桶上,同时被水花溅到并尽量不摔倒。不久之后,两个人晕船了,当我们开始在我猜是 5 英尺的海里拖钓时,情况只会变得更糟。我们拖了将近两个小时,一条鱼都没有,但吐了很多。然后我们又回到更近的地方进行一些底部捕鱼,结果钓到了几条我手那么大的鱼。大约在我们不得不返回的时候,太阳开始露出来,海面相当平坦。当我们回来并不得不支付超过 1100 美元时,我们收到了“抱歉”的钓鱼信息。没有鱼、两个生病的人和在水桶里大便并不是我们预订这艘船时所想的。我知道当你预订这些钓鱼旅行时无法保证,但这对每个人来说都是一次悲惨的经历,一个好的船长应该知道这不是一个早上出去的时间。真希望那天早上他能打电话取消或重新安排时间,但他只是拿了我的钱然后继续下一个。我的家人每年都来 OIB,但我不会再和奥斯汀船长(或乔)一起去钓鱼了。
