  Report:
  This was the second party boat trip my wife and I made this week. We chose this boat because they advertised as a fast boat which reached the fishing grounds in an hour or so thereby allowing much more fishing time than other boats. Unfortunately, this was not true. This boat is owned by Captain Tony's Fishing Adventures as was the Fish'N Xpress we took two days earlier. We still travelled for two hours to the fishing grounds and when we arrived, the Captain spent a great deal of time searching around for fish. We spent a total of 45 minutes searching throughout the day for a total of 4 hours and 45 minutes of riding with only 1 hour and 45 minutes of fishing time. Even then, the Captain was unable to put us over very many fish. Many people were fishless and others caught only a few. My wife and I were able to land a mixture of 25 fish (Lane Snappers, Gray Snappers, and One Red Grouper) which we gave away to less fortunate fishermen. All fish were pretty small. We have had a great deal of experience with party boats from coast to coast and have found that the Florida Boats seem more intent on taking people for a ride rather than providing a fulfilling fishing experience. Also, the Captains we have fished with do not seem to have as thorough a knowledge of where the fish are as they should.
