Trust me, I was being kind by using the word "abysmal".

On one of my trips last year, there were approx 30 fares and only 3 keepers...I had one of them. The captains and mates, to their credit, admitted it was poor all season long.

I don't know if you've been fishing on a private boat like MVP indicated and having better success. If you have your own boat, then I'd be happy to join you since you're doing so well.

Went out Wednesday afternoon 4-8pm, with my 2 girls 9 and 7 along with 35 others all using rental rods and boat bait. We managed 4 keepers to 6 lbs, 10 skates 5 sharks and 5-6 throwbacks . My kids catching the most since I was busy keeping them from killing anyone and not getting tangled. Was a great day the boat maybe had 25 keepers was a great night!!! so I do not know what you are doing but go fishing and catching will follow!!!!

Captains working hard to put a catch together. But it doesn't always work. Anyway here's my point. Bottom fishing! My biggest gripe is having to drive down to Point Pleasant to bottom fish on a party boat. And they are catching fish. I went out last week, FULL boat, had limit of sea bass and 13 ling. Why Captains don't you opt for bottom fishing- 1 day a week! I think you would get a great turnout. Save customers a trip further down the GSP. Party Boat responses appreciated.
