The night before it was decided that we would travel down to Innisfail and go off shore there as the wind was predicted to be less down that way.... More

I am sorry your fishing charter was cancelled due to weather conditions, we do have a duty of care,we pride ourselves on making sure our customers have the best time on the water fishing, this is why we only take 3 people on our boat sometimes 4 to the river, More

I have booked this guy twice over the years, the first time he was unable to take me out because the weather was to unpredictable for the size of his boat, the second time he claimed he had lacerated his hand whilst filleting a fish the day before my booked charter trip, I was informed by our coach driver that...

For your second attempt at a fishing charter i would really question the bus driver ? to say that people use lacerated... More
