Hi Dale

Firstly i ended the relationship with Terence for reasons indicated below. Regardless of what may have been communicated to you.

Yes Terence is continuing as an independent guide. Mola Mola UK is also continuing BUT warning all prospective clients of the situation regarding fishing in Namibia. As you discovered the fishing in Namibia was well below the expected situation causing many adverse comments from clients. Plus Terence has increased his prices to such an extent that he not a saleable option. Also many clients are of the opinion that the fishing there has priced itself out of contention.
Fact only 5 Bronzies over 100Kgs caught by clients during the 6 month season. Previus clients have exceed that on a per person basis in a week. Then guides up their charges by 25%.
In fact i explained the situation to Terence quite clearly that there is a limit to the amount of money clients are prepared to spend on a trip and his demands push the price up to a totally unacceptable level. Plus of course if the fishing is as poor next season then more unhappy clients who will have spent even more of their hard earned cash. Only time will tell if the fishing returns to normal thats why i`m off to Costa Rica in the hope that i can offer a better cheaper beach venue with guides who do not think anglers have huge wallets.
After 7 years in Namibia i am in a position to offer guides equal to and maybe much better than Terence at a much more realistic cost.
Not all Namibian guides are greedy and unrealistic with their charges or alledgedly living on past reputations.
Happy to answer any questions from anyone.
regards bronzie

Flying into Liberia where we meet up with a local very keen beach angler. Then we chase the fish. 4 x 4 fishing gear and sleep where we can. Pacific / Carribean wherever the fish are biting we will try for them. 17 days non stop fishing. We intend to go wherever. Totally unknown destination beachwise but we believe huge potential. Could be the trip of a lifetime or not. Time will tell. But we will give it our best shot.
Usually a bait angler but have bought 40 plus lures rod reel braid plus my bait gear to explore the possibilities on offer. Really want to catch a Rooster Fish and Cubbera Snapper so 100% effort for 17 days.
Then evaluate and if possible offer to beach anglers. If not tell it how it was and try elsewhere.

Steve,

why oh why did you do that. i didn't rubbish you or your company and for heaven's sake i have reason.

for guides better than terence. why have you used him exclusively for the last 7 years? rubbish your talking i think.

price wise i have a quote in my hand which is considerably LESS than you charged me earlier this year?

same hotel as well?

as for the fishing again you tell so many stories. i can put up the e mails you sent me with tails of fantastic numbers of sharks before my trip and after. just not during.

i could go a lot further and lift the lid on the gaffs you made over there but that's not how I do things.

leave it said terence and you no longer see eye to eye and i would recommend him fully to anyone. even the guides You use seek his advise.
