Bad luck with the fish. I was the white boat that pulled up and spoke to you guys near the buoy. Have been with that guide 2 times and have boated plenty of fish. Sometimes you find the guides on the phone trying to track down where the fish may be biting. Found him to be helpful with tips, you just have to ask questions. Still trying to improve my squidding (with little success) but seeing someone else do it ihelps
Thursday was tough I didn't catch any fish either but thats fishing. Think with the cold weather coming in and the full moon the fish are being a bit finicky.
The prices are steep bit I worked out that it probably cost me $$$ for the day out with petrol, trailering the boat to and from the ramp, lost jigs etc, so for 7 -8 hours fishing with a guide I don't think its that bad.
Cheers
