HarborWalk Charters

This was a joke! My husband and son went on a 4 hour charter and were very excited. After we booked the charter, we read the reviews (I know - partially our fault). Well, needless to say, the reviews were correct. This charter boat service was a complete joke. The fisherman cast the lines and everyone waited for a ""bite"". There were a total of 6 paying customers. When a ""bite"" occurred, the fisherman would point to a person and say they could reel it in. There were a total of 4 fish caught in the 4 hour period! 2 people paid and didn't even get to ""reel it in"". Please read the reviews and book another charter! This one is a total waste of money. Oh yeah, the whole time the fisherman smoked and threw the butts in the ocean (real nice, isn't it?). more

Last Friday, as a last minute whim I took my family for a 4 hour charter on the Barracuda. I decided to go with HarborWalk Charters because they could get me in last minute. There is a reason they do not book out 1 week in advance as other charters do. The cost was $560 plus a 20% first mate tip. We spent about 2 1/2 hours ""looking for fish"" then about a 1/2 hour fishing for small fish that most people would consider bait. The rest of the time was spent going back to the dock. At the end of the hosing the first mate, Josh, had the nerve to tell us not to mention to other people that we had an extra 1 hour. We got back 30 minutes late. We caught 1 hand full of fish. By that I mean the equivalant of fish that can fit into your fist. Not 5 that we could keep. It was fun being together as a family but this crew did little as far as bait hooks or work for it whats so ever. Josh said he used to work for a commercial fisherman and was probably fired for lack of production and I feel Captain Jason lacked the experience to know where to look for fish and we turned up jack. By far the worst fishing experience we have ever had. Charter $560; Tip $110; memories hopefully gone by tomorrow. Hope this helps others. Please check the experience and rating of your charter BEFORE spending you hard earned money! Pros: Out on the water with family. Cons: Poor effort at fishing more
