What a Skipper, What a Catch
Snapper season Charter for 2 People on November 12, 2025 β’ 2 adults
Birthday present for the lady and what an experience. Dale is a superstar his dedication to making sure you catch something is by far his number one goal. He knows where the fish are and he knows how to fish. His knowledge is on point.
We bagged up. From the moment the first rod went in to the moment our last fish was caught it was pure excitement, hectic, fast but words cannot describe it. The birthday girl puts this whole experience at number 1 and it couldn't have happened without a dedicated skipper. Dale you by far exceeded all our expectations .We are super glad we got the experience of 'best night of the season' with you. Our biggest snapper 83cm long & 5kg who can complain.... Cheers mate look forward to our next adventure with you.

Pinky/salmon/Calamari (2 people) on June 30, 2025 β’ 2 adults
Captain Dale was absolutely incredible!!! Although fishing is a hit or miss, captain Dale made sure we caught a bunch! We caught aroud 15 fish & 1 squid! To add onto that, he brought us UP CLOSE to a pod of dolphins & some seals!! They swam right next to our boat and it's something we'll never forget. If you're someone who doesn't like to touch bait, or doesn't know how to fish, Captain Dale will happily bait our hook, take the fish off the hook for you, cast out your pole if needed, and also teach you how to do it step by step if you want to learn. I also recommend if you don't want to be crowded with 10+ people on a small boat! He offers private charters, so it's just you and whoever you bring along! That was huge for us! Will definitely be booking again if we come back to Australia!

Great experience with Captain Dale!
Pinky/salmon/Calamari (2 people) on March 29, 2025 β’ 2 adults
Hi all,
Booked an afternoon charter with Capt Dale from Twilight Fishing Charters on 29 Mar 2025. Very responsive on fishing booker and capt Dale even called me prior to the trip to provide some advice and checked to see if we are ready. One of my companions was very sea sick and capt Dale was quick to turn the boat back alongside to ensure she was okay.
Within a few hours we caught dozens of good size pinkies and mackies (17 to 32cm). Cpt Dale is truly experienced with the fishing area in the bay. His bottom fishing and burly techniques are very effective.
Even got to meet some wild sea lions too!
Will definitely recommend his charter!
