7 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM)

Great choice for solo travelers and first-time anglers

VERIFIED
NEW

I had such a great experience with Adam’s charter. As a solo traveler, it’s usually hard to join a fishing trip without booking the whole boat, but Adam kindly arranged for me to join a group with other guests. As a Chinese guest, I really appreciated that he thoughtfully placed me with other Chinese travelers, and even made an effort to learn some Chinese himself! The service was excellent and Adam was very helpful throughout the trip. Even though most of us on the boat were beginners, we still caught plenty of fish. The biggest surprise was a huge kingfish caught with a lure from the back of the boat – definitely the highlight of the day! At the end, Adam carefully cleaned and filleted the fish for us, which was a very nice touch. Overall, it was a wonderful fishing trip – friendly, professional, and full of good memories. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Jingxuan for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that we could make your solo trip comfortable and enjoyable, and it’s awesome to hear I made the effort to connect with you in Chinese — I always out of respect make an effort to learn the basic thankyou words that goes a very long way indeed and always eager to learn and make everyone feel at home. Catching that huge kingfish must have been a fantastic surprise, especially for a group of beginners! We’re glad you appreciated the little touches like cleaning and filleting the fish. Thanks for the high recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you guys back anytime for more great memories on the water!

Honestly fantastic views of Sydney from just off of North Head. Equipment and bait were all set up ready to use. Instructions and guidance given if needed. Reef fishing techniques were drift fishing, facing the headlands/coast and letting out line to the bottom (65-70m). Fish in the areas were - Red snapper - Yellow leatherjacket - Flathead -

We went as a family and Adam made us all feel very welcome. Despite the miserable weather Adam was upbeat and kept us all fishing. We caught a few different types of fish and plenty of them. We also saw a whale which was a bonus.

Adam and his crew were fantastic! My husband, son and his two mates had the best day out on the water (21 July). They caught a variety of fish and saw whales, dolphins and a seal while they were out. They would definitely book with Adam again!
