I've never been out on a charter boat.
Tony Hart of the Anna2 has a pretty good rep.
I'm not sure how it works but I suppose it would depend on where the skippers Bass marks are which will obviously depend on the wheather and tides.
For instance if the Bass marks are on the north coast and it's blowing a northerly 5 or so, he'll not go Bassing.
The same applies to the tide. Most Bass spots are dependent on a fair bit of tide to produce fish so if it's a neap tide the skipper might not see it as a viable option.
Charter boats sometimes tend to be full of holiday makers with their children who are happy just to catch fish. I would presume it would be in the skippers interest to take them out catching "safe bets" i.e. Mackerel, bream and conger.
Bass is slightly more specialised and not quite so plentiful so it might be worth phoning either Nuthy or Hart letting them know you are only interested in catching Bass.
If you could get enough of your friends interested, you could charter the boat for yourselves. I think it is about £500 for up to 12 people, so the more people the cheaper it will be per head.
