Report:
left dock at 7:15 were to leave at 7:00 went to jersey wrecks, didnt start fishing untill about 9:20 DUE TO CAPATINS INEXPERIENCE getting over some kind of bottom structure,we spent alot of time to anchor up only to fish on a flat bottom with no structure at all.no fish were caught for a while and the captain was no were to be found,everybody was so pissed off i figured someone found him and threw him over.finaly he made a move,a big move about 6 feet then we went through the whole anchor thing again,this time some small fish were caught on clams not crabs,and the only people with the clams were the mates,which they kept hidden from the paying fares.the mates all fished the bow,when people came up there to get a piece of structure they were told there was structure in the stern to,it was pretty amazing noboby who fished the stern lost a rig or got a fish.we moved closer to home after a long and bumpy ride to 17 we made one more stop ,only to encounter a few keepers but mostly 12 inch blackfish,all in all the whole day sucked,including the mates and captain,ill never go on the royalsunshine again,they can stick it where the sunshine never shines.
