We had a solid trip out on the reefs. Not a massive amount of fish as the conditions were crap. However, We Learn learnt a lot the boat was fantastic. Michael D Skipper was unreal. We will be back when the weather heats up and the wind dies down.
thanks for the feedback mate.
had a phenomenal two days on the GBR. my charter captain Daniel put me on an epic feed early in the morning. non stop action. GTs was destroying everything we threw at them. If one spot isnt working, the switch it up immediately and get you on fish. Next time im back, it will be with top water fishing charters again.
Kept moving to keep us on active fish and also many types of fish he did not scrimp a bit traveled all over the reef! We caught a lot of fish ! Both captain and mate were very friendly! Thanks guys

I was raised fishing and working on boats, my dad owned and operated charter boats in NSW. When I was 16, I completed my first commercial skipper ticket (couldn't use it until I was 18) when I was 17, I came to Cairns and worked on a game boat my dad drove for a season, that made me want to live in Cairns. I came back for each light and heavy tackle season after that, working on various boats, and officially moved here when I was 20. I did a 3-year stint on a remote sport fishing charter company that goes as north as PNG, then I became a skipper and now I run my own charter business! I love fishing, it can be both relaxing and challenging and you never know what the day will bring. I especially love fishing when it comes to other people, catching them their fish of a lifetime or a record. My favorite species is Marlin (Black Marlin particularly)
