I am glad there are the low cost providers. Easy way for me to know what boat to stay away from.
Every 1/2 serious fisherman will not go on a "cheap" charter, open charter etc., and we know why.
Actually has a double benefit, 1) to stay away from boats/captains below standard
2) stay away from novice fishermen
Gotta love free market
btw, thats valid for everything other than commodities, lower price means sacrificing SOMETHING.
