Ranger 85, Overnight Review
July 18, 2016 Ranger 85
First Overnight Trip Was Perfect!
I recently took my girlfriend on our first overnight trip June 10, 2016, and first trip ever for Tuna. We luckily ended up on your boat the Ranger 85!
We were strolling the dock early and happened to meet Captain Robert who was prepping for our trip. He immediately smiled, introduced himself, and welcomed us to be a part of the trip. He asked us a few questions about our experience and found out we were brand new to this.
Captain Robert then proceeded to make calls and to get us a private room, because of my girlfriend and privacy issues.
As we stood at the dock the other members of the crew arrived and all were equally welcoming and friendly.
We left on time. On the way out Captain Robert lead the crew and explained the trip and his focus on Tuna because of the current fishing. He explained
” the rules”, and stressed safety.
He explained that he and the crew were there for us to catch fish and have fun. He stressed asking him and the crew for help with anything, and stressed “thats why we are here”!
We woke up to a wonderfully calm day and the fishing began.
The fishing was great! Apparently from what some of the experienced guys on the trip said, a rare day. At times we had 5 or more hook ups going. I landed a nice 80lbs or so BF, lost 3, and my girlfriend lost 1. Lots of fish lost by snapping the lines, they were all really big fish. Overall the boat landed a lot of BF! A great day!
The crew was so patient and calm throughout the trip, no matter how crazy things got. They calmly untangled lines and coached fisherman. During my hook ups the crew talked me through the process and taught me the techniques to fight the big fish, I really learned a lot.
They were especially patient with my girlfriend and the other new folks. I am new to this, but not new to fishing, so I figured it out quickly. The crew spent a lot of time helping and teaching my girlfriend, which freed me up to fish and have the fun I was there to do.
Another thing that was very noticeable, especially by my girlfriend who is a “neat freak”. is how clean the boat was, and how the crew was constantly cleaning, from the deck, to the heads, to the cabin. They were on top of it all the time!
Fishing is not always “catching” a crew cant really control conditions, But what they can control is the environment, and the overall experience. We are all obviously there to catch fish, but I think all of our desires are the same, to have fun! We had fun!
Captain Robert and the crew are obviously hardcore fisherman who work their buts of non stop! Great work ethic on this crew! Additionally they were all friendly, fun, intelligent, and great at engaging the customers in quality conversations, and ensuring a great, “overall experience”.
Chef Paul also cooked up great chow. He did a great job of walking around the boat talking to customers and checking that they were all fed well. He also ran out of the cabin a few times to gaff fish during hectic hook ups. Great job!
So, a perfect 1.5 day trip. Thanks to mother nature for the good fishing, and to the crew who put us on the fish. But most of all thanks to the crew who put the customers experience first!
We will be back and will certainly be recommending The Ranger85 !
