hell trips not good pr.
Being an ex charter skipper this sort of story does suprise me,it happens all the time, the skippers know full well that the weathers going to get poor yet they still go, just to get your money. Its ok for the hardened sea farers but taking kids and novices with out warning them first, it maddness and should not be allowed, i have seen people put off for live after one of those sort of trips. i used to tell my customers exactly what to exspect and if they had kids with them i would tell them to rebook on a better day.even now 6 years after stopping tripping people still ring and ask me to take them.My advice to anybody taking an boat trip is to check the forcast. we all use the xcweather.co.uk forcast check it out.then ring your skipper and see what he says. if hes just after your money and gives you the bull---t just do not go.boat fishing is suposed to be fun if you want poor weather and having the sh-- kicked out of you sign up as crew on a trawler.
