A lot of people I have spoken to, do not like this guy at all
Allegedley he has issues with anyone else fishing in the red bay area, and has been reported on several occasions for spooking other boats etc

Personally I would avoid him

i wonder was it released again????? :roll:
seems to be fairly safety conscious with someone standing out on the board at the back of the boat with no lifejacket even on!!
some nice fish caught to be fair but being the only charter boat in the area i suppose you would need to be getting good fishing from such a good area!
