Failure to Disclose
Hurricane Fishing Fleet的点评
点评：I have fished with Hurricane about a half a dozen times, but this 11/7/26 trip is my last trip. Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes not.
Intentional failure to Disclose - First, and most significant was the failure to disclose that effective 11/1 thru April, there is a federal law (for the protection of whales, which I support) that prohibits vessels the size of the Hurricane II for traveling more than 10 knots in federal waters during whale migration. Therefore, going out and back to the Gulf Stream increased the boat ride by twice as much time where 2/3 the time was riding on a completely packed (likely overcrowded boat) uncomfortable boat and 1/3 time was spent fishing. Of the 11.5 hrs, only 4.5 hrs was spent fishing. There should have been a disclosure on the website, or the two phone calls that I made to book the trip explaining how the change required law impacted the trip (they are the professionals and guests should not be required to research the laws). I would have booked a smaller vessel that was not subject to the restriction or gone earlier in the season. It seems Hurricane intentionally failed to make any disclosure in order to fill the boat. In this regard, before leaving the dock, about 20 minutes was spent going over the rules, but the first time the speed limitation was disclosed was after the boat left the dock. Nearly everyone onboard was unaware of the limitation. Very unprofessional and not nice!
Second, poor fishing conditions. Not sure if the fish finder was working, but the captain only put us on one productive spot (however, it is fishing and I am not as critical here). The boat was only about 2/3 full 2 days before I booked, and it appeared they offered a big discount to a large group that overbooked the trip. It was clear the trip was understaffed for the crowd, which meant for the most part, trying to untangle lines yourself and constantly running out of bait. The mates did not appear interested in enforcing rules, like only one rod on deck or no casting, which made matters worse. Even experienced fishermen were getting tangled and had to be cut-off about every second fish. In overcrowded situations that are understaffed, it is much faster to cut-off lines, but that leaves you out of the water. Therefore, the 4.5 hrs of fishing was really about 2.5 hrs because of the tangles (I have likely been on 30 or more trips, and this was by far the worst).
Lastly, I likely threw back a dozen fish that were an inch short, whereas other around me were filling their baskets with undersized fish, which may have been due partially to a language barrier. Yet, mates were not assisting with measuring fish, and instead fish were going straight into coolers.

翻译：我和“Hurricane”号一起钓过大概五六次鱼，但11月7日26日的这次是我最后一次出海。有时候你付了钱能得到相应服务，有时候则未必。
故意隐瞒信息——首先，也是最重要的一点，就是他们没有告知我们：自11月1日起至次年4月，有一项联邦法律（我支持这项旨在保护鲸鱼的法律）规定，像“Hurricane II”号这样大小的船只，在鲸鱼迁徙期间不得在联邦海域以超过10节的速度航行。因此……往返于墨西哥湾暖流的过程使航行时间增加了两倍：其中三分之二的时间是坐在一艘挤得水泄不通（很可能严重超员）且极其不舒服的船上，三分之一的时间则用于钓鱼。在总共11.5小时里，实际用于钓鱼的时间仅有4.5小时。网站上本应对此作出说明。或者我为了预订行程而打的两个电话，我在电话中说明了相关法律变更对这次旅行产生的影响（他们是专业人士，不应要求游客去研究法律）。我本可以预订一艘不受该限制影响的小型船只，或者选择在季节早期出行。看来Hurricane公司故意没有做任何说明，只是为了把船装满客人。就此而言，在离港前，他们花了大约20分钟来讲解相关规则。不过，速度限制这一信息是在游船离开码头后才被公布的。船上几乎所有人都不知道这一限制。这种行为极不专业，也很不厚道！
其次，垂钓条件很差。我不确定鱼群探测器是否正常工作，但船长只带我们去了一个能钓到鱼的地方（不过钓鱼本就是这样，在这方面我也不会太过苛责）。在我预订前两天，船上也只坐了大约三分之二的乘客。看起来他们给大量超额预订的游客提供了大幅折扣。显然，针对这么多游客来说，工作人员的数量远远不够，因此大多数时候大家都得自己设法理顺缠绕的鱼线，而且鱼饵也频频用尽。那些工作人员似乎也并不在意执行规则，比如甲板上只能有一根钓竿或禁止抛投钓线，这使得情况愈发糟糕。就连经验丰富的钓手也频频遭遇鱼线缠绕的情况，几乎每钓到两条鱼就不得不剪断一次线。在人员不足且拥挤不堪的情况下，切断鱼线要快得多，但那样你就什么都钓不到了。因此，由于鱼线缠绕的问题，实际能用来钓鱼的时间大概只有2.5小时左右（我大概去过30次以上，这次绝对是最糟糕的一次）。
最后，我大概放生了十几条体长差一英寸才达标的鱼；而周围的人却把篮子里装满了这种体型偏小的鱼，这或许部分是因为语言障碍所致。不过……工友们并不帮忙测量鱼的尺寸，这些鱼直接就被放进冷藏箱里了。
