We had an amazing family day out fishing. Jim was fantastic to deal with from the start communicating clearly throughout the whole way through. We originally booked earlier in the week but Jim suggested we postponed due to the weather and it turned out to be the best decision we ended up with a beautiful day caught plenty of fish. Everyone on board landed one. Jim was more than a fishing guide he shared great local knowledge about the islands in the area along the way. I’d highly recommend doing this trip at the start of your holiday Jim can point you in the right direction of what to do and where to go, overall a great day out thanks a lot Jim. Great work keep it up mate.
Capt Jim did a great job ensuring we caught QUALITY fish today ...and he didn't disappoint! He knew where to go for the best fish. My son and I catch the biggest Jewies ever! Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend and will be returning!! Thanks Jim!😊👍
my 2 brothers and I took our old man out for his birthday, we had 2 request fill the esky and fish till we drop! boy did captain jim deliver! we were on good sized good eating fish all day! he made it easy for us by baiting our lines and giving great tips on targeting the local species, special mention jim’s wife packed some bithday cupcakes for dad, that was a lovely personal touch. thanks jim!
Jim was great. Taught my two 16yr old boys some good techniques to land some of the bigger fish. Came away with a good two days feed. Highly recommend booking a day out with Jim. We will book again
