Well at least I assembled the right crew and picked the right boat. First time out with Capt Ron and his son Ron Jr. VERY impressed with the operation from the vessel right down to every detail. Highly recommend these guys for a charter and will be back for sure.
Always a pleasure fishing with Joey Da Fish( he was my puller from the start) and Mike Reynolds Sharyispy who is no slouch either. Between those 2 and Capt Ron SR / JR we had a steady bite all morning to a pick later on of many quality fish. Just not the right one although we had a couple shots.
No apologies required Joey ever. its fishing. Your Keeper count (ORL) and Sharky's work had us in the running.
My work Buddy Two guys Rod Mike also contributed with some nice keepers and a huge seabass.
Funniest Line of the day: Joey looks at Two Guys Rod Mike and says hey Mike your "F ng" pliers cost more than your ROD!
Myself on the other hand got hit after 2 to 3 hrs in with some muscle spasms / cramps from hell that put me out. Usually I can walk it off, stretch it off or some contortions in a few minutes. These lasted for an hour or more each episode and put me out of action which sucked especially in tournament mode.
Got to the point where I could only sit in one position in one spot on the boat and not move

So I sucked and its worse because we had the fish going.

I did manage a couple of keepers, loads of shorts etc and came unbuttoned on a nice drag pulling fish in the little time the spasm gods allowed.
Again another great SPONSER captain and mate and will be back for sure. Which makes this site such a great fishing resource
