Captree Pride

Went on there boat Last night and the fish wasn’t biting at all. The bait was old and wasn’t staying on the hook. I will not go on this boat again.

OVERBOOKED JULY 4TH! Like the other reviewer, Super D. wrote below… they pack people like sardines. I went on the July 4^th fireworks cruise, spending $ 50 for a four-​hour ride with no decent place to sit.
Seating is first board, first serve, which is fair… ONLY IF there is enough seating to begin with.
My sister and I stood about ¾ down the long waiting line. A group of my friends were closer to the front. When we finally boarded, there were no spots left to sit except inside the crowded cabin at one of the food tables where large baskets of sandwiches, condiments & garlic knots were placed. Folks had to reach over us at first to get to the food, so we pushed the basket to the outside edge of the table and sat against the wall, unable to see much of anything but the sky through the glass windows. (Not to mention, no breeze in there.)
The last ¼ who boarded after us obviously also had an even harder time finding a place to sit — or lean. And we’re talking a four-​hour ride.
The group of friends had been at the front of the line, of course, got to sit together at tables on the top deck. But by the time we got on, that whole top area was full.
After we finished eating, sis was able to squeeze into a bench spot on the outside, after a teenage boy gave up up his spot for her. Like him, I wound up leaning against the railing most of the time.
The fireworks were further away than I had anticipated. But that time, the whole crowd came over to that side of the boat to watch; so those sitting on the benches couldn’t see anything, due to the other passengers leaning against the railing in front of them.
So if you wanted to stay seated, you had to pass on seeing the fireworks — period. If you wanted to see, you’d have to shove someone over and try to squeeze in just to stand at the railing.
In all fairness, my friends at the top seemed to enjoy this trip together up there at the top deck.
But lots of other folks were commiserating on that main level.
I, among the latter, will definitely pass on this magic, next time.

This isn’t the worst boat I’ve been on, but not the best by far. they use they’re bait verry sparingly. The rods and reels were poorly maintained. The heads (bathrooms were dirty. The crew was helpfully and seemed ok I would not recommend this boat. I would recommend the Captain ROD or the JIB VI.

Been out on this boat several times this summery, morning and afternoon. We have a great time every time. The crew is great! Super helpful and friendly. The Captains know where to go for the fish. Captain Rob is slightly better then Captain Kenny ;P

I have been fishing on party boats all my life and I have never met a Captain (Kenny) with this much enthusiasm. He genuinely enjoys his job! I fished 2 trips of this unprecedented fall stripper blitz. The first trip was the best stripper experience I ever had on a party boat. We «limited «out in just a few passes through giant schools. The second trip was a total dud. Which leads me to my only criticism. We fished west and almost directly on the beach to which no ones surprise produced zilch. When an entire boat gets skunked during one of the biggest bass blitzes in history why not offer the fares a discount on a future trip. I brought a bunch of my friends on the second trip to share in the experience I had on my trip the week before. Well of course they ripped me the whole ride home. Another chance via a discounted trip would have lessened the pain. This is still the best boat with very helpful mates in Captree however and I fully recommend. Just remember it’s called fishing not catching. Lol

They pack people on the boat like sardines. I brought family from Europe in the hopes of showing them a pleasurable fishing experience. They over-​booked the boat, and it left myself and my guests scrambling to find a place to fish. We got pushed around until after an hour or so we decided to to ride it out in the cabin along with about 9 other people. also their equipment is old and barely functional. 2 out the 3 reels we were given were stripped and barely working. Never again. This boat is nothing but a meat market.

Limited out on striped bass 3 trips in a row with Capt Kenny. The whole boat went home with fish Friday oct 26
