If anyone decides to go to Destin Fl. and wants to charter a fishing
boat, be very careful you don't choose "Capt. Kirk Reynolds, of the S.S. Enterprise." ( No I'm not making up the name, either.) I'm not even going to tell you how much this jerk charges us for half a day. (I'm really to embarrassed to say) I will say this, it was the worst fishing trip ever. He wouldn't take us bottom fishing for snapper like we had paid for. Instead, he takes us out about 5 or 6 miles and we end up trolling in the same circle all day, for king mackerel. ( Like you can't catch enough of them from the bridges, piers or jetties.) This guy screamed at us if we asked to check the down rigger. We ended up dragging two really small, illegal kings to death. Capt Kirk was kind enough to hide them both in a cooler down below. We never saw those fish again, either. It really felt like we were bothering the guy by being on his boat. It was really an embarrassing trip. He was screaming over the side at smaller vessels for getting in his way while he trolled. No kidding. He was leaning over the side and screaming at little boats for fishing in his way... Then he tells us, "Watch this, I'll show them" then he runs over the little boats trolling line, cutting it off. Twice this happened. I kid you not. At one point, I mentioned that it looked like something had just smacked the down rigger really hard. He sarcastically asked me if I wanted to take over and run the boat. ( I really should have said, yes. We might have caught more fish.) He kicked over one of the other guests coolers, spilled ice and sandwiches on the deck of the boat, then he yelled at his customer like it was his fault. One of the guys actually managed to catch a pretty nice king, about 10 bs or so. ( we ended the day with two fish about that size ) He asked the Capt. Kirk if he was going to clean the fish, Capt. Kirk's reply was... "You're supposed to tip if you want that, boy." I'm not sure if this guys was drunk or what, but It was the most embarrassing and worst fishing trip I've ever chartered. I was terrified there would be a lynch mob waiting for us when we returned to the dock. Just wanted everyone to know, if you're ever in Destin Florida, and plan to charter a boat for a day... Think again if you're looking into Capt Kirk Reynolds of the SS Enterprise. Don't be sorry like we were. |
