Fishless evening yet fun !

Go on the day trip! According to the deck hand , fishing was great on their morning run! Dead bait was not getting it done . I know now that I could bring on board your own live bait! I really enjoyed the fishing trip . I experienced this solo and would definitely bring back family and friends ! Great crew ! Hope to have the same set of deck hands next time ! Thank you Capt. Murphys! Soon to come back, Xavier G.

It was a fun experience....

It was a fun experience. The captain was great, but his crew seemed like they didn’t want to be there. I would definitely recommend the morning slot as the fish bite more.

A Great Adventure for kids!

The overall experience was great. All the kids caught fish, they assisted with getting the fish off the hook and the sunset was amazing. We saw a couple of dolphins off in the distance which was a small bonus. Unfortunately, they did not get too close
