Go Somewhere Else!

We booked for a Tuesday because there would be 40% less people and they charged us more for that. there was 41 people on a 45 max capacity boat hardly 40% less. The deck was understaffed, only two deck hands who were good despite being so overworked. The ride out was an hour and 45 then 45 in circles looking for the fish, clearly he didn't know the grounds.The captain was a complete A**hole. I got my first fish to the surface and called fish, he yelled at me not to yell fish until it was at the surface because he didn't want to wait for me to reel it up. then when he realized it was on the surface he walked away. the next fish we caught we yelled for the gaf and no one responded so we yelled again and the captain yelled saying that the loudest people do not get service first. We were just looking for confirmation they heard us. the third fish we called for the gaf waited 5 minutes then just flopped it on the deck and got the hook out. rebaited the hook and sent it back down. then waited for the closest employee to see if it was legal size the captain came over and just looked at the fish and told us we were "wasting his time".I had to measure my self and it was a legal catch. they cut us off of beer after the second one on "captains orders". then we moved around from spot to spot, doing more moving then fishing. in the final spot my buddy caught a fish reeled it up and flopped it in the deck. the captain said it was a haddock (we were quite aware of this) and it was a keeper. my buddy said "can you help me get it off the hook?" the captain said no and walked away. then my friend said "what an a**hole" and the girl that works the galley said "I'm pretty sure you guys are the A**holes" the we measured the fish and it was not a keeper but screw it the captain said it was so we kept it. of the 8 hours out we did maybe 2 of fishing the rest just moving. The equipment sucked my dads rod was electrical taped together, two islets poped out when he hooked a fish. my reel squeaked really bad every time you turned it. It was a waste of a days pay and the worst fishing trip I've ever been on. TRUST ME I'LL NEVER WAIST THE CAPTAINS TIME BY BORDING THIS FLEET EVER AGAIN!
