Special 12 hour trip for Conor Witherow
Bad communication expensive but did catch a great fish
Ok, the skipper Sean charged me £300 for this day out which I didn't mind as there was only 2 of us however I later found out that there would of been more guys but their car broke down, I spoke to other boats who offered the same trip for half what I paid so make sure you know the average price is £150 as an individual. Sean definitely bumped up the cost knowing I was a tourist. there are many boats going out of Hout bay that all head to exactly the same grounds, in fact at 1 point I counted 13 boats all in a line fishing the same stretch. There was literally no explaning on what or how we were going to fish, I actually felt quite left out all day as Sean and the other angler decided to speak in Africans all day unless he was on the vhf where he spoke in English. They literally made no effort to explain anything or make me feel welcome. Fishing was slow but we caught 3 yellows between us, my fish came in around 40kg so I was happy in the end. Great experience, great fish the deck hand was a really nice guy but to sum up it was overpriced and communication was awful. I'd definitely go with someone else next time
