Hi Ross: The $150US price was a number of years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the price has gone up. I was just tryin to give you a ball park figure. Also available is half day fishing rates, which is really a good way to go. If you have ever stood still on the bow of a boat all day, looking for fish, its hard on your legs, eyes and nerves. The half day rates would be abit more expensive, per hour, but ya might have something left to party hardy. Good luck.
