We had an amazing day out with Captain Murray. He was very knowledgeable and gave great advice. The boat and the gear was A1, we caught a few and would definitely book with Catch My Drift again if we return to Airlie Beach. it was definitely the best fishing charter we’ve been on so far. It was an amazing experience and definitely worth it, if you’re looking for a great charter this is the one to go on. Thanks very much Captain Murray!
Hi Mel Thanks for you great review and your persistence with the fishing in very trying conditions. Hope to see you again one day!
We booked an 8-hour charter with Captain Murray and the day could not have been better. We are keen fishos who wanted to make the most of our time on the water, and Murray understood that perfectly. He put us onto quality fish the entire trip and we fished every second we could. We landed well over 40 fish including Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Sweetlip, and plenty of exciting by-catches to keep things interesting. Murray delivered great banter, expert guidance, and an awesome lunch as well. His support, knowledge, and passion for what he does really showed throughout the day. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thanks mate, what a memorable day! 🎣🙌
Thanks for your wonderful review. It was great fun having you guys on board.
Capt. Murray is an experienced and passionate Skipper / Angler. His patience and guidance for Non anglers was outstanding. His bespoke vessel is extremely well equipped and kept in a tip-top condition. All the fishing tackle was pre rigged ready to target the ever changing conditions and the diverse fish species Lunch and snacks were provided and all were freshly prepared and very tasty. In summary, all 3 Family members had a fantastic day, a real memory maker.
Thankyou Andrew for your wonderful review. It was fantastic to meet your family and to share our beautiful backyard with you. A pleasure to have you all onboard!
Captain Murray Story will make sure you catch fish. He puts in the extra work and isn’t content to just sit and wait for a spot to “turn on.” His boat and gear are in great shape. He can handle experienced or novice anglers with care and professionalism.
Hi Vincent Thank you for a wonderful review! Was sensational to get to know you and thank you for putting in a huge effort on a blustery day. You landed some great fish even in trying conditions to make the most of your day. Hope to see you again one day.
