Because I went alone I wasn't about to dish out 5 bills to get on a decent charter, I could have gotten on a drift boat for $60 but I'm not crazy for drift boats after fishing on one a few days before in Jupiter. The best thing about drift fishing is seeing all the different species of fish.
The capt. of this particular boat I went on was an arrogant know it all who got into a extended yelling match with another boat and to top it off he belittled the guests by yelling at them the whole time. When we didn't see a dolphin swim by our lines he says "what@#$%matter with you guys"(we're talkin retirees) ....he had a live well full baits,,just for him. He see's the dolphin throws out a live bait, lands it and then rubs it in our faces...I swear my tongue was bleeding. I landed a blue runner he says the fish is his...I tell'um...we'll see about that. The tackle suxed. I broke off on 2 big King Fish and the seas where 4-5, I took a wave over the side, got soaked from the chest down and the capt tells me seas are at 2 feet...lol
That experience is not to say Jupiter fishing is crap. Its one of the many hot spots in southern FL. Excellent place to vacation in the winter.
