A Horrible Trip

I was excited before the trip, but the experience turned out to be very disappointing. The captain took us to an area with almost no fish — after about three hours, four of us only caught four small fish around 30 cm. The boat was extremely unstable and kept shaking so hard that it was almost impossible to fish safely; two of my friends even felt sick and vomited despite taking motion-sickness tablets beforehand. The captain was also quite indifferent and spent most of the time fishing by himself at the front of the boat. Overall, not a trip I would recommend.

Okay

It was okay. Unfortunately the skipper wasn’t really concerned about being friendly or overly helpful.
