Just saw this and thought id share, pretty good deal if your like me and like to go out every once in a while a take a boat ride instead of paddle, nice to change it up every once in a while.
$40 for 3/4 day and it includes lunch, $35 w/o lunch, expires tonight.

Changed my mind on ordering due to comments on this post....

I saw that a couple days ago. I didn't go for it because it says it includes bait, then in the fine print it says no bait. Sounded fishy. No pun intended.

I'm assuming they put that there to cover there butt in case of like a squid trip where they use lures or something odd like that since its listed with licesnses rods ect. Well at least I hope so lol still a good deal even if I have to use big hammers

This landing has very bad ratings on Yelp reference the groupons, Living Social, Etc. Last year many "Bloodydecks" comments were negative on the whole coupon issue at Davey's. Comments varied from too full to honor coupons, coupons wait till paying customers have run out, not enough paying fares can't go, skipper/boat change and won't accept coupon and so on. Flat didn't seem like they wanted to honor the coupons they issued.

My personal iffy experience didn't cost me a dime, I just called to inquire about their ad of "Kids fish free" and it was a total runaround ending with "Uh, that guys not here right now".

Just
Saying,

Dwayne

I didn't know there were problems, I have not fished out of this landing in 5 years due to kayak fishing now, I just requested a refund based on your guys response's. Guess I'll just stick to the yak not worth the hassel if what your saying is true.

One of the worst landing you can go to. Funny thing is with these deals it's perfect for beginners but the deckhands are low class brats. I went on one trip and they were yelling at a customer and calling him names. The guy was a total newbie. You would think going on this half day or 3/4 day trips would be a good place to get your feet wet. I felt sorry for the guy. It actually made me wonder what the consequences of throwing one of the deckhands overboard. I probably should have spoken to the captain but decided I will just take my money else where in the future. The experience just makes me appreciate kayaking more.
