Had the pleasure of fishing alongside Captain Troy Wetzel this past week. Or I should say with Troy Wetzel (he doesn't deserve the title 'Captain'), since he decided that his crew of at least 8 people not including himself and his deckhand would pull right next to our boat and essentially get close enough I could have exchange rodnreels at one point. To add to insult, when he first arrived instead of tying up to the other end of the rig on the down current side he decides to just drift right up to the back of the boat and does this for 20 minutes or so before anchoring to the rig. Then instead of having some boat edicate, which would have been to throw his motor into reverse and cut the wheel from keeping his tail end from swinging around he just lets his boat swing at times 5 feet from us. Well after coming in and catching either close too or his limit in snapper he has the nerve to tell me, 'I'll only be five more minutes.' I turned and faced the other way; he wasn't even worth acknowledging let alone arguing with. Not sure what people see in this guy. But he is a poor excuse for a Captain.

Should have asked if you were getting paid for his charter

I am amazed by how often people will anchor right on top of where you are fishing. Had a guy tell me one time "I came a long way too catch fish".
