Amazing experience!

아이가 너무 너무 좋아했어요. 감사합니다. 낚시는 처음이라 제대로 준비도 못해갔는데 선장님과 피쉬맨들이 친절하게 도와주고 잘 살펴봐줬습니다. 다음에 또 이용할게요.

Kingfish 도 잡았음

오클랜드에서 얼마 나가지도 않고 자리잡고 낚시를 했는데, 추가 바닥에 닿고 5초안에 상황 종료됨.- 잡느냐, 고기(snapper)한테 털리느냐... 미끼를 너무 빨리 털어가서 주먹만 한 미끼( 꽁치대가리+몸통일부)를 걸어 던졌더니 yellow tail kingfish(방어)가 잡힘 덕분에 빌린 낚시대가 부러졌는데도 선장님은 별다른 내색안하고 바꿔주시고... 정말 정말 추억에 남는 저녁낚시였습니다 참고로 kingfish는 65센지 이상되야 잡을수 있어서 놔줬습니다(5~6센지 모자라서..)

Excellent Trip

The Team knew the best fishing locations with a boat fully prepared for all conditions. For the cost, it was money well spent . We will certainly be back again.
