Renegade Charters
Went out with Renegade Charters in April. Although the weather was not the best still put me onto some great fish mostly GT's, so depends on what you want to catch. Best to take full day as it take a while to get out to the reef. Skipper & deckie very experienced. Boats was very comfortable given the conditions we fished in and the equipment they use it top of the range, custome built rods and Shimona Stella reels.
