Looking for current information on the Sea Legs III. The wife wants to go on a party boat close to home (Ft Lauderdale) and it seems the choice of most is the Sea Legs III. But I don't see any recent reports. Anything recent would help. I've been checking reviews for other charters and they don't have the same following as the Sea Legs III. Thanks in advance.

Re: Current Information on Sea Legs III
I finally made it out on the Sea Legs yesterday for the afternoon drift and all in all it was a pretty good experience even though nothing was biting. I liked how the Cap was not opposed to steaming around looking for hungry ones. Only a few small snapper, squirrel fish, triggers, and a couple weird ones I didn't recognize came over the rail. I vertical jigged the whole time and was cut off presumably by a king and I landed a decent Lesser AJ and about a 5 lb runner. That was it, but it was a beautiful day. To reiterate some previous comments - bring your own gear if you can, a broomstick and 10 oz weights seem like overkill for fishing in <200 feet of water. My roommate didn't feel one bite.

Re: Current Information on Sea Legs III
Fished again this past Saturday (2/1) and it was about as slow as slow gets. Managed one 16.5" mutton on a live pilchard in about 175 ft of water. Only two other edible fish were caught... Not even a jack on a jig... Water actually ended up being pretty rough. Will most likely be trying again next week. Are we sure this is the best boat? I'm assuming it's just a combo of time of year and weather.
