    amazing trip!

    Afternoon 4 Hour Trip on April 3, 2026 • 2 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.

    What a day, what a fiah!!

    Afternoon 4 Hour Trip on December 20, 2024 • 2 adults

    Had a great afternoon out with Stuart. We could only get the 4 hour afternoon trip but totally made the most of our time. No time was wasted as we headed straight out to his favourite kingfish spots. After a few warm up fish, my son landed the big one .. over a metre long and such a beautiful fish. Thanks Stuart for your fishing prowess, your company and sense of humour. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. See you next time !!

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.
