She has never been out before. A few years ago the ex and I went out on the Osprey there by the seafood rest. We didn't catch much and she threw up the whole time. (gave me time to enjoy the fishing). The Osprey crew were a friendly bunch of guys. Any suggestions will be appreciated. We are also going bay fishing but thats a no-brainer. Got a dolphin cruise planned too. Jeremy

The run is a lot shorter and your girlfriend might enjoy offshore fishing more without the 2 hour boat ride. Just a thought. Fish till your arms fall off; then crank the reel with your mouth.

They seemed to know what they were doing. Right off the bat we caught a really nice amberjack and a couple of big kings before we had to head back in. Price was not to bad because we split it between 5 people.
