We took my buddy out "deep sea fishing" for his bachelors party on 5/2. I had heard reports of how rough the seas were going to be for several days before. I called the captain and asked if if we should reschedule. We would not have been able to have the bachelors party but we could have at least saved our money. The catain told me that he would make sure that we caught fish and give the guy a good trip. We showed up at Aquasafari Charters in Galveston at 6 AM with reports of 6'-8' seas. I again asked the captain what he thought about the trip. He said that we were good to go. So we paid him $2510. We went to the end of the jetties and fished for 4 hours and caught 1 gafftop. By that time we had seen enough and told the captain that we all had boats and could fish the jetties anytime and would rather come back another day to finish our trip. The captain then decided that he would move out to deeper waters. We ended up going out to the first rig in federal waters and never caught anything else. I understand that it is called fishing and not catching but we gave the guy every opportunity to go another day and he assured us that we would have a good trip. Not to mention the fact that he never even attempted to apologize for the pitiful trip that he gave us for $2500. I have been on many off shore trips but if this had been the first I would certainly have never gone again.
