Emily LauRepeat anglerAustralia•Member since 2025•2 trips5.0Verified5 Hour Charter with Captain Dave
Private 4 – Hour Trip • 7 adults7 of us had a great day out on the water with Captain Dave. The trip was well-run, relaxed, and we ended up catching a good variety of fish (catfish, baby sharks, several types of bream, salmon, stingray etc). Out of everything we caught, we were able to take home 3 sizeable ones. Dave took us to two different fishing spots, and the boat ride was enjoyable. We also had a sausage sizzle on board at the second spot. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the charter and would happily recommend it to others looking for a fun day out on the water. We would love to do this again at a different time to be able to catch other types of fish. Thank you again to Captain Dave!

Private 8 - Hour Trip • 2 adultsThe day was almost perfect and my son and I had a great time and we couldn’t ask for a better operator than Dave, his exceptional fishing and boating skills and knowledge made everything go smoothly. We were lucky enough to see many of the animal species in the area including a sea eagle, pelicans and even a 4 metre croc to name a few, of course we caught several species of fish and a muddy and one big beautiful Barramundi. We had a great day thanks Dave, Cheers Lincoln & Andrew
