amazing trip!
Afternoon 4 Hour Trip on April 3, 20262 adults

My son and I had so much fun fushing with Seamus. He was obviously passionate about it and very knowlegable. Seamus was very calm and gave us the confidence to reel in the big ones! We caught approximately 12 kingfish, three jewfish, and one snapper. We kept the snapper, jew, and a kingfish that made for great feasting for several days. Seamus fileted them for us as well. Beautiful scenery, perfect weather, great company, excellent fishing! Highly recommend.

7 Hour Trip - Kingfish - Private on September 9, 20252 adults

We had a blast with Stuart! We catched around 25 Fishes, he knows exactly how its done. He knows the best spots and always helps you out. He even made my wife fishing and she catched her first fish. He is a cool and funny guy. Definitely a huge recommendation and will always come back when in Sydney!
