A downer

The boards didn’t separate when sinking to the bottom. Staff mentioned to the captain that the net looked tangled. That would have been a good time to bring the net back up and address the issue. The net wasn’t open when trolling for a hour resulted in catching only a handful of shrimp and ZERO bycatch.

Everyone had a great time. The crew was friendly and very informative. It was a plus that our tour caught about 30 lbs of shrimp.

Unusual but fun cruise

Fun time out on the water on the Tammy Jane and her captain and crew. All were knowledgeable and kept conversations lively. Cut a bit short due to weather, but will do again.

Great time

It was such a fun experience!!! The crew was very friendly and so knowledgeable. When the catch came in, the crew took the time to talk about the other sea creatures that were also in the haul before putting them back to sea. There were some young kids on the cruise and the crew was so good with them.
