    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!

    Response from Captain

    Great morning out with a top crew!

    5 Hour Trip Mid Week Quicky • 6 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

    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

    Guys, if you're looking to organise a stag party for the ages this is it. Tony and his crew take care of you from the moment you board until the moment you dock. Great experience, great banter and most importantly great locations to fish. We literally took home 20kg of snapper. 100% worth the value.

    Toni and his deckhand were great and even though the weather was not the greatest they still put on a great charter and we managed to pull in a decent catch. Thanks Toni and we will be back.

What's biting with Find Fish Fast – Fishfinder in Sydney

This can be a really fun time to fish. Tailor and Salmon are reacting better and better to surface lures in the Harbour. Look for Kingfish over the local reefs. This month is full of surprises - you never quite know what you'll catch!
