Got skunked on the fishing trip. I think the crew could have worked a bit harder to help up catch fish.

Well we were told that nobody had been cathing fish all week and if I had known this I proably would not had gone.However I enjoyed the time and crew while out on the water.If we would have caught a fish it would have been perfect.
