    Went out with Dean for the first time with my mate ray,was a bit blowy and fish weren't biting.but what I can say that Dean is a top skipper and does his up most to get you on the spots.i certainly can't wait to go out on his boat again,he makes you feel comfortable if your new to boat fishing and will help you all the way.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Nick. Glad you enjoyed your day, we always try to have a good laugh on board. By the way, Ray left his hat on the boat, will keep it for next time.

    Dene is the nicest bloke and skipper I've meet his boat is clean and tip top he rang me day before to say not a lot is coming up but I still went (fishing is fishing) had loads off doggies no cod a good day and a honest bloke .Kris

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Kris, very true - fishing is fishing, but I will always let parties know in advance when it is slow. Look forward to seeing you again. Hopefully the winds this week will stir it up a bit.
