    Good Friday morning fishing trip

    Kingfish and Reef on April 19, 2019 • 1 adult

    It was a popular place for the kingfish this particular day. So we kept going and looked for a good place to catch what was available on the day. We did well considering the amount of other boats out there as well. For the first hour and a half we were followed by a group of three or four other boats whom were interested in learning from the charter what to do it seemed. I would go back out with this boat and crew again.

    Exceptional half day with The Sheriff!

    Morning Kingfish & Reef (8 MAX) on November 3, 2017 • 5 adults

    An actual incredible experience filled with laughter and best of all, a lot of fish! George and Mark were very kind and had a nice chat with you taking you to different places to do some fishing. I mean, it does sound like that's what they're supposed to do, but The Sheriff seemed to give you a different feeling of the captain and first mate wanting you to catch fish. To top it off, they were very kind and offerred tea and coffee and about half way into the trip we even got a lovely baked cake to help us through the rest of the trip. Despite the small size of holding only 8 guests, it was spacious enough allowing everyone to fish with a comfortable distance between each other. Will definitely book again next time I am in Narooma

I have been a keen fisherman most of my life, which led to diving and spearfishing, becoming a commercial fisherman, and finally, a charter boat operator. I have extensive knowledge of the sea floor because I have dived most of those areas for many years.
