    Very good and enjoyable trip

    4HR Whiting & Snapper for 12 pp - 10:00 AM on December 30, 2025 • 10 adults

    Two families (mostly girls) with minimal fishing experience wanted to do a charter and we selected Pro Red Fishing Charters. We very much enjoyed the day, the captain and crew looked after us providing all the equipment and baiting of the lines etc, we caught snapper with one being over 4kg and another just under, close to the end of our time the wind blew up and we were out of there, we appreciated the captains concern for our safety
