I fish with Allan fairly
I fish with Allan fairly often... Let's just say the snapper are fairly nuts right now and fish 85cm+ are regularly being caught on plastics!
We have frequently bagged out and start throwing fish back! The fishing has just been insane....

Is that how much it is for everyone? And is it cheaper if you bring your own gear?

Same price gear/ no gear. Unless you have Stella/saltigas you might as well use the ones he supplies .
Noobs who don't have any idea what they are doing are welcome to use their own gear.... Quite rightly, he doesn't like seeing his expensive gear mistreated!

Hey Laneo, went out with Al for the first recently; great value!
Will never go out with any of the other charter operators again.
Did bring my own (high end) gear, only to be surprised he in fact uses the same. Still, thoroughly enjoyed cacthing my first Pinkies on soft plastics on my own gear :-)
The fishing was amazing, we left Freo at 6am, almost bagged at 8:30am..
If the weather will be good, I have no doubt your mate and his partner will have a great day! I am looking forward to heading out wih Al again soon, will be bringing my wife as well.
Cheers,
Luc

Almost bagged out, because not everyone on the boat caught two..
Great experience, will be doing it again soon.

Hi David, The trip I went on,
Hi David,
The trip I went on, everyone seemed to take the number of fish they caught (e.g. 2 for me).
it wasn't necessarily the exact two fish I caught, but roughly that size (smallish, 3kg one and decent 6kg one for me).
ps. new to the site, will try to upload pics.
