    A must do trip!!

    8 Hour Trip – Kingfish Mahi (MAX 8)7 adults

    I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, whether you’re going with a big group or a small one. Captain Tony was an incredible host with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the entire trip, regardless of everyone’s skill level or previous fishing experience. We had a beautiful day out on the water and caught more than enough fish for all eight of us who went out. Overall, it was an incredible experience and a day we won’t forget. A massive thank you to Captain Tony for making the trip so enjoyable. We would definitely do it again!

    Great morning out with a top crew!

    5 Hour Trip Mid Week Quicky6 adults

    Tony and John were very accommodating and helpful during our trip. We had a great time, and despite being told that catching 6 keepers is unheard of for their standards and them being apologetic, we were more than happy! Beautiful weather and ended up with an esky full of fish for dinner. Boat was very spacious too. Would 100% recommend

    Response from Captain

What's biting with Find Fish Fast – Fishfinder 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.
