Don't use Captain Tracy, Island Girl Charters From: customer (68.32.160.57), NORTH CAROLINA I had the misfortune of fishing with Captain Tracy of Island Girl Charters July 18, 2009. Due to rough seas, we were limited to a total of two hours of trolling on large rods and reels for Spanish Mackerel so small that we couldn't tell if they were on the line. We asked to return to dock, as this wasn't what we had signed up for, but the Captain insisted on charging for a half day. When I gave in and said that he clearly wasn't looking for repeat business, he snapped "well you're just trying to Jew me down." I told him I was Jewish and that I wasn't going to pay him anything at this point, he proceeded to call the police. After the police talked to both of us, and told me that he was just an ignorant redneck with a bad reputation around these parts for being a racist, they said just be the bigger man and forget about it. So I wrote the check for a half day, at which point Captain Tracy came over, and in front of two officers said: "I better make sure you aren't Jewing me out of my money." I was about to slug him when the officers intervened. I would advise everyone to keep a safe distance from this ignorant tobacco-spitting knuckle dragging cracker. Not only is he a racist, he's one of the worst and laziest charter captains I've ever encountered. He would not spend one minute or waste one drop of fuel more than he had to to meet his basic requirements. He didn't tell us how bad the seas would be before we left, and when we returned, he said it wasn't worth him going out later in the day even if the weather cleared. As the two Carteret County officers advised me, the best thing to do about guys like this is to put them out of business. To add a remark to this report click here.Click here to return to report
