I go out with a few buds, its not only the gas, and stuff...your also put$$ting in for the places the cappy takes you to...seldom has been the time I've not had the opportunity to fill a cooler of fish, that aside these guys usually run charters and they charge way more than that. $35-$50 (depends on gas$$$ and amt of people going, never more than 5 spearos, usually 4 ) is what they charge anyone that I bring on board...thats a DB discount btw.
$25

let me know when your headed out thats a great rate,
even if we don't shoot any fish, which is unlikely I'm sure...good luck with your new gear, and coincidentally the water as of late has been perfect- a 1.5 wouldn't hurt though
