Grew crew and we had a great time
Great crew super knowledgeable and helpful. We were celebrating a 12th bday for my Son and his friends. They spent the time to go around to each and everyone, seeing if they needed help, providing tips and to make sure the boys were all catching something, which we all did. They are really nice guys who love what they do and it shows. Couldn’t thank them enough for a fantastic days fishing.

Perfect trip for locals or tourists
Could not ask for better time. Captain Tony was very communicative in the planning process. Between Tony and first mate John, they were so attentive throughout the trip helping all levels of experience in our group. We were catching fish within minutes of settlinginto our spot
- 5.0/5(Kingfish and Reef)
Good Friday morning fishing trip
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.

Morwong are a family of fish found in tropical waters across much of the southern hemisphere. They are commonly caught in Australia and New Zealand, where they are an important food fish and a regular sight at the end of a fishing charter.
There are several species of Morwong, including the Blue Morwong, Red Morwong, and Jackass Morwong. Queen Snapper is also a species of Morwong. These colorful critters go by many different names, including Butterfish, Rubberlip, Mowie, Porae, Great Perch, and more. In New Zealand, they are known as Tarakihi.
When and where?
Morwong can be caught year-round on reefs and drop-off all along the south of Australia and New Zealand's North Island. Some species can be caught from shore around rocky structure. Others, like the Southern Blue Morwong, live well over 200 m (650') down. Wherever you look for them, you're not likely to find them far from their reef or drop-off.
How to Catch Morwong
Morwong are generally not fussy eaters. They will take squid, prawns, cuttlefish, and many other baits without a second thought. If you really want to catch your limits, berley bombs are a surefire way to attract these greedy fish.
Good to eat?
Morwong may not have the gourmet appeal or Snapper of Dhufish, but they do cook up well in sauces. They have a creamy meat that takes well to strong flavors and spices. The trick is to bleed and ice them as quickly as possible to preserve the flavor.
