Cronulla Fishing Charters is located in Sydney and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Christian is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, handline, jigging, and popping, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 5 to 10-hour trips, you can target species like Snapper, Yellowtail Amberjack, Flathead, Marlin, and Bonito, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

You’ll be fishing from a 38’ custom-made boat with enough room for up to 10 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet and ice box. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can.

No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Christian runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done. Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.
