5 Hour Trip Mid Week Quicky on December 30, 20256 adults

Tony and John were very accommodating and helpful during our trip. We had a great time, and despite being told that catching 6 keepers is unheard of for their standards and them being apologetic, we were more than happy! Beautiful weather and ended up with an esky full of fish for dinner. Boat was very spacious too. Would 100% recommend
