What anglers said about Flathead Fishing in Australia
- 5.0/5(Half Day Trip – Coastal Reef (AM))
Great morning fishing
Due to poor weather, we stayed in the local estuary rather than heading out, which we were gratefull for. We had a great time. We caught fish inc GT, dusky cod, flathead, lots of Bream and even a damn eel. Saw a couple of crocs. Shawry was a great skipper and guide. Great with the kids and super helpful. Highly recomend Hook Up for your next fishing adventure in PD.

Fun time bottom bashing in Sydney
Was a rough day overall since it was right after the full moon (11 people fishing and only a handful of keepers), and water was rough so about 1/3rd of the boat got sick, but I had a ball. Caught a dozen or more fish across five species. At one point every rod on the boat hit simultaneously on flathead. Captain had a great attitude and his mate was a workhorse the entire trip.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Trip (AM))
Great experience
We caught lots of Flathead and Mackeral. Captain and crew were friendly, very experienced and professional. Staff cooked a bbq for us, and there was tea and coffee available and conviently a toilet on board too. Directions to where the boat docks was easy to find with plenty of parking. Would highly recommend and book again.
