There’s ice storage and bottled water on board, so all you need to bring is some food and drinks for your refreshment. Make sure to wear a hat, sunglasses, and a rain jacket, and bring some sunscreen so you can soak in the sun above Sydney waters.

I am an IT professional but have been fishing for the last 20 years each weekend and holiday period, or whenever there is a chance to go out fishing. For me, fishing has always presented me with thrilling experiences, and has allowed me to bond with a community who share the same passion as me. I love to share this experience with other people.
