It's a shame you had a bad experience with Hubbard's Marina, Inc. especially when it included time with your husband - out enjoying the fresh air and companionship. I know nothing of Hubbard's Marina or their operation. I am, however, an avid fisherman that has literally spent years on the water. The key to your dissapointment is your misunderstanding of nature. The boats' captain and crew make their money by putting you on fish and getting them in the boat. They utilize their knowledge and equipment to find the best locations based upon structure, weather, tides, time of year, fishing reports, etc. to locate these fish. But guess what, mother nature doesn't always cooperate and sometimes the fish have moved to locations they don't normally inhabit. And when you are out on the ocean vs. a lake or pond, you have considerably more area to cover and to find fish. I have been on lakes in Canada where you could look over the edge of your boat and see perfect structure for fish. I have spent hours in such situations with not so much as a nibble. That's why it is called "fishing" and not "Catching". Be glad you had the opportunity to spend the time with you husband out on the ocean. Keep in mind that there are no guarantees when you are dealing with mother nature. The 20% off on your next trip was a pretty generous offer seeing as how they really didn't need to offer you anything. Keith Fort Campbell, KY USA
