Captain Mark and First Mate Tony got us out there and found the morning bite and we pulled a couple in. Unfortunately the fish wanted to skip lunch, but that’s fishing. Can’t ask for much more.

Hi Travis , thanks for your positive feedback .
Captain Mark has been involved in the fishing industry for over 20 years. He is the only person to have fished the whole Australian coast in one trip – this was a 5-month epic journey catching more species then he can remember. He has stories about catching fish from every state in Australia that he is happy to share with you. He is an able fisherman and skipper who can put his clients on Squid or offshore species such as Mako Shark and Bluefin Tuna. Mark and his friendly staff will be more than happy to accommodate you.
