Hi Steve, most artlure guys don't have big enough boats to take 4 oakes. We use flat deck bass boats with few chairs as we prefer lots of deck space for fishing and do very little sitting. Another problem is that the more oakes on the boat the more difficult it is to be stealth as there is constantley someone loosing their footing or what not which makes a noise and spooks fish. The ideal setup for artlure is 2 guys on a boat and max 3. It is also difficult for 3 guys to fish artlure effectively (depending on the targeted species), so usually we make turns to catch fish as the fish spook when everyone targets the same fish at the same time. My dad and I sometimes take people out but our boat can only take 3 people (1 skipper, 2 passengers). Antoher option is to ask Takkie Branford, he may be able to take all 3 of you on his boat. I don't know what he charges per day. He is on Sealine so you can pm him. Cheers
