First of all, let me tell you, bluntly, what to expect…...A decent boat and ok equipment. This is not a tournament-ready rig and neither is the gear but it is better than most tourist charter boats.
The crew treat the the trip like a transaction, they wont socialise with you and believe they are just there to facilitate you catching some fish. This is probably how they have been treated in the past.
We took the time and effort to interact with them and also help rig up and keep the boat clean and tidy - show some willingness and you will get it back in spades and you may learn something too.
The guys worked hard and, by working as a team, we were boating multiple hook ups whilst keeping bait in the water at the same time. As such, my brother-in-law and I caught more than anyone else on the same day - just the two of us and the deckhand who was helping.
We only got a handful of shots at Dorado ,and we made it count in the very rough seas, taking several gaffers and the rest as chicken-dorado.
Make the effort to get to know the crew; speak to them and work with them and you will enjoy your trip a whole lot more.
