    (7 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM))

    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.

    Great location, and crew

    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 -

    Captain Tony and crew were the best!

    We had a terrific day on the ocean! We caught a variety of fish… including a yellow tail kingfish, a pig fish, flatheads, and bream. We also saw a pilot whale. The crew cleaned the fish, and we enjoyed sashimi for supper! I strongly recommend Tony and the Fishfinder to all our Canadian friends.
