That's my kind of captain--not happy unless the passengers are catching fish! I've been on some boats where the captain just dropped the anchor and we end up staying there almost the whole day for nada. That's the kind of captain that should fall overboard and wind up as an appetizer for the local sharks. I want a captain who gets irritated when the bite slows down and ia ready to move at the drop of a paper plate. Some of the older ones seem like they could care less. The younger ones are hungry, and really want to rack up some numbers. The Pursuit captain is really good, Rick Oefinger of Marina Del Rey is another one, and the captains of the Erna-B in Port Hueneme and the Enterprise in Long Beach Marina are ones who deserve a thumbs up for their aggressive pursuit of good fishing. I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I know to be outstanding.
