Post by spudtrans » Sun Feb 15, 2015 11:05 am

Hi all, I want to take the wife on an off shore charter from sorrento, i have looked at a couple on line, they are "joe farr", "proline charters" and Rip charters"
all are around the $ 100 to $150 mark for 5 hours, does anybody have any experience or recommendations.
thanks in advance

How many people go charters and do not actually catch the target species?

I know Toby from Rip charters, they are very good on the kingies if that's what you're after. I've never met Joe, but from all accounts of some friends of mine, he's a good bloke, if sometimes a little prone to over exaggeration, (though aren't all anglers..). Proline, don't know much about, although he was always pretty cool with me when I used to fish Sorrento pier a lot, would always give me time to wind in my lines if he was getting under way and such. Not sure how much of a review that is on his fishing abilities, but's a start...lol..
