Tim EvansMember since 20195.0VerifiedGreat Day Out!
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weeekday • 2 adultsLovely slow sturdy old boat, just what I like. I loved the fact that we didn't have to organize anything, as the gear, bait and even filleting was provided. Colin is a fantastic captain, very knowledgeable with amazing stories about his past experiences both here and abroad, spanning many decades. Very accommodating, when the weather did not comply, to reschedule at a time that suited. I went with my Dad, who was flown over from New Zealand as a surprise for my birthday, and we both enjoyed the day immensely. We caught plenty of fish, more than enough to feed the family waiting at home. Overall it was an awesome experience, and can't wait to do it again.
Response from CaptainThanks guys, it was great to meet you both. Hope you enjoyed your feed. See you next time. Captain Colin
Simon WallisMember since 20194.3VerifiedHalf day trip (advertised as 7 hours)
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weekend • 2 adultsThe skipper - lead deckhand and staff were very friendly and helpful. Weather wasnt good which limited moving to different spots once at sea - but also limited catching opportunities. My son and I only caught 1 fish each - some others didnt catch anything - nothing is guaranteed but that was a little disappointing and we started at 6:30am finished by noon. Its not deep sea fishing - just off the coast - so judge the value at $200 per head. Coffee facilities on board would have been welcome.

Summer Shared Trip (PM) - Weekend • 4 adults • 1 childA great trip. Colin was full of stories and so patient with the kids. Fishing conditions were not ideal but he made sure we got the money shots of the kids with big fish. He knows where the fiah are. All ticks for me!

What's biting with Deep Sea Charters - Kingfisher in Sydney
The weather begins to feel a little more spring-like, with the bite transitioning alongside the weather. Flathead starts to liven up, with Bream, Tailor, and Salmon still putting up a good show at the beaches.
