Headed out for a shared full day charter with Lochy into the blue water offshore and it didn’t take long to find some decent fish. Lochy was fantastic showing great knowledge of fishing the area also happy explaining fishing methods but also showing his knowledge of other styles that he had picked up from time in other fisheries ranging from Cairns,Newcastle,South Australia and Western Australia from his many years on the water. Boat layout was top notch with plenty of room and space for the 6 of us to fish comfortably with a smooth ride but mostly a cold esky for our catch and victory beers on the way home.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us Jarryd. It’s great to hear the fish were on the chew early and that the day delivered from start to finish. Lochie will really appreciate the feedback. He’s built up a wealth of knowledge from fishing right around Australia, and it’s great to hear you enjoyed learning from his experience while still getting plenty of time with the rods bent. We’re also glad the boat layout, comfort and space onboard made the day enjoyable for everyone. A cold esky full of fish and a few well-earned victory beers on the trip home is never a bad way to finish a day offshore! Thanks again for choosing Offshore Boats, and we hope to see you back onboard for another session next time you're in Darwin. Cheers, Offshore Boats Team 🎣🤙
Good fishing and a ripper boat- the walk around centre consol gave us surprising space for 6 people. Great setup with updated gear so a ripper day.
Hi Russel, Thanks for the awesome feedback! Great to hear you enjoyed both the fishing and the boat setup. The walk-around centre console really does make a difference when you’ve got a full crew onboard, so it’s great to hear everyone had plenty of room to fish comfortably. We’re also glad the gear and setup hit the mark and helped make it a ripper day out on the water. Appreciate you coming out with us and hope to see you back onboard again soon. Cheers, Offshore Boats Team
The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
this was the best charter boat I have ever had. the skipper took us to spot that kept giving. we couldn't put the rod down, unless we needed a test. gosh what a great day!
