The captain was a dick and was incompetent. He says over the intercom, you can drop them guys, so we did. Then he starts reversing the boat and as you can imagine several guys squid jigs get caught up in the propeller and the squid jigs go bye bye.
When we were heading back and stopped at a spot some guy goes and starts fishing and decides to pick up the net to get some bait from the bait tank and the captain starts yelling HEY! HEY!! The guy looks up and the captain says, is this your boat. So the guy sets the net down.
Then later the dick captain goes pick up a spinning rod and try’s to flyline a bait and he can even cast for ****. And he starts mumbling that I hate spinning reels. I overhear some other guys say that the captain was drunk and that he doesn’t know his head from his *** and he can’t fish for ****.
I thought we paid to go fishing, if there are no bait fish should some one put bait fish so we can all fish. The captain on the Newport landing is a dick and incompetent.
In addition the report is false. There were only about 12 people and no where near 200 squid, maybe around 150.

If you decide to go squiding the decks hand charge $4.00 to clean each squid and if you decide to take it off the boat whole you can forget, because they will not allow it.
TAKE MY ADVICE, DO NOT GO ON NEWPORT LANDING, GO TO DAVIES FOR ANY FISHING PERIOD.
THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME OFF THAT PIECE OF **** LANDING.
