Professional with a great sense of humour
The day was almost perfect and my son and I had a great time and we couldn’t ask for a better operator than Dave, his exceptional fishing and boating skills and knowledge made everything go smoothly. We were lucky enough to see many of the animal species in the area including a sea eagle, pelicans and even a 4 metre croc to name a few, of course we caught several species of fish and a muddy and one big beautiful Barramundi. We had a great day thanks Dave, Cheers Lincoln & Andrew

Great Morning
Had a great morning on the water with Dave (Capt) and the boys, Got out off Magnetic Island with fantastic weather. Although the fish weren't jumping out of the water we still managed a good catch On the way back Dave gave me the opportunity to pull one of his crab pots that provided a nice size Muddy to take home. Dave was brilliant and very much a mate on the water. Thanks Dave, I'll certainly be back when next time i'm in the area.

Fun day on the water
Caught fish, Captains David was very knowledgeable, difficulty finding bait, but that happens, saw a croc, sea eagles while fishing and a kangaroo on the way to the marina. Captain David even fired up the barby on his boat and cooked use some of our catch for lunch,
