Gavin was a great Captain. Even though we didn’t catch lots of fish we had a great afternoon spotting whales and a double hook up of 2 very large Cobia

Gavin was grouse, very well set up boat; took us to some great spots and nailed a few fish. Also a really nice bloke! Next time we’re back we will be back out with him again - cheers. Also the coral trout was delicious we cooked it later that night.

Live and dead bait through the estuary. Low receding tide conditions tough but he still put us on some fish and was great company the whole time. Hope to make it back to Port Douglas during barramundi season some day!
