I had booked a half day of bottom fishing on the reef specifically for various species of Snapper and Grouper. When I arrived at the boat they asked me what kind of fishing we wanted to do and when I told them bottom fishing the captain had to run to another boat to get terminal tackle since he was planing to troll. He told us he would start by trolling and then bottom fish when we got out to the reef. The only tackle he had on the boat were two light freshwater rods and reels rated for 4-12 lb. line and up to 5/8 ounce lure weight. He rigged these with rapalas and trolled between the breakers and the beach for a couple hours. We had three strikes during this time two of them were too much for the light tackle and took one long run into rocks and broke off. My son did manage to land the third, a tiny amberjack. The captain didn’t even seem to know how to fish, the fish that broke off were running and taking drag and he was screaming reel, reel even though reeling a spinning reel while the fish is running out drag would only twist the line. He then went outside the breakers and put on bottom rigs and cut ballyhoo for bait. We drifted over the rocks for about 1/2 hour and caught a 4 inch black grouper and a squirrel fish. He then said it was time to troll back to the dock because by then we would be out of time. They also said they would provide transportation to and from my hotel but when I got to the dock they made me pay $40 extra for cab fare. Overall it was a total waste of time and money, I have fished all over the world and while sometimes the tackle was old and banged up I’ve never before had tackle so unsuited to the type of fishing and species we were targeting.
