Bali fishing charter recommendations?

I am going to Bali soon, and I have been trying to find out any information on reliable fishing charters over there. Of course, I searched this site and found a few recommendations. I also get the impression that a lot of companies are rip-offs.
I am really interested to hear from any fishwrecked folks who have done fishing charters in Bali. If you have been on one that wasn't a ripoff and you caught fish, that is awesome info :-) If you have been on one that was absolutely terrible, that is also great info, so I can steer clear of such companys.

I don't want to break the holiday budget but of course willing to pay for a value service.

Get onto this website and get in touch/email with Slim (Aussie Guy who runs the site and lives there), he is one hell of a great guy and let him know if you want to chase Spanish Mackeral......big Trev's or reef fish. His bali decky "Gday" will put you onto some great fish, very basic long boat but fun to be had. Good luck

Most of the hotels over there have brochures located in the lobbys for all sorts of different charters. Cheapest one i found was go down to the beach and talk to the locals and for about $25 you can go out with them. OK i only caught smallish fish but it got me away from the missus and kids for a few hours.
