Bait a switch

4 Hour – Fishing6 adults

I find it interesting that I booked this 4 hour morning trip months ago and when I showed up in HI the owner was no responsive. But contacted me at 12:40 am the night before the outing to tell me he was not aware of my booking and already had an 8 hour trip booked at my time. My only option was afternoon slots. I have been doing this for years and realized right away this didn’t sound right. However. This being a family vacation. I accepted the change for 1 day later in the afternoon. Showed up and the morning trip was very successful. 5 skip jacks and a 10ft marlin. The owner explained that he didn’t know what happened as he “doesn’t work much with boat booker” So we did the trip and enjoyed the time on the water. Captain and first mate were great. Fishing was not. 1 bite. They provided some tuna from the morning trip as a gift and that was appreciated. Something here smells fishy. Not sure who is at fault here but know I will never use either service again.
