With a new boat for this sport he is insured to carry up to 3 anglers, ideal for small parties therefore and cheaper than the larger boats to charter. Bass and sea trout are the main target species. Young and old are welcome and if you have no knowledge of fly-fishing, other methods are available.. In 2011 Richie was responsible for 17 anglers catching that elusive first ever bass in various areas. All equipment supplied.
