goldcoast fishing charter NO GOOD

Was recently on a holiday in surfers paradise, decided to go on a fishing charter(gone fishing).wasnt too bad could of been much better...all 12 of us were bottom bouncing while the 2 deckies were ballooning for mackerel and once hooked up they would pass the rod to the customers and by then the fish was pretty much worn out(not fishing i recon)i was the only 1 to get an actuall fish from the bottom which was a nice cobia..all the fish being caught were killed and kept..when i landed my fish i asked can i release it and he laughed in my face..i said i can have much more satisfaction releasing a fish then eating it and he laughed and offered it to the rest of the people on the boat and every1 put their hand up to take it...no wonder their charter isnt the greatest coz they are keeping every fish they land. fish for the future and not your stomach i recon. i'd hate for myself to have a son and not for him to be able to catch a decent fish

sorry mate but if you want to release the fish....its YOUR CHOICE. NOT what the skippers decides. You paid the money, its your decision to keep the fish or not.

If you'd like to have an awesome time and release the fish you catch, pay the money to go on a decent sportfishing charter or if that isn't an option, I wouldn't go at all.
