We hired Shoki for my son’s 13th birthday and it was better than we hoped for. Very accommodating crew and the boat was great.  Fabulous day out on thr harbour catching fish, drinking champagne and music.  We even took the dog! Thank you John. 

Somuch fun, great boat & crew

Fishing with John

New Year kicks off with a bang in Sydney. Peak tourist season makes the town and beaches packed. Escape the crowds and head offshore - Marlin and Mahi are swimming nearby along the East Australian Current.

Escape the heat of the city and breathe in the sea breeze. There is good Marlin fishing to be had offshore, with Mahi also being caught around the FADs. Morning fishing tends to be the most successful.

Visitor numbers fall slightly, making March a great time to visit Sydney. Water temperatures gradually start to drop. There's still some chance of Marlin and Mahi offshore, with Tailor, Salmon, and Bonito biting in Sydney Harbour.

Most of the fishing moves closer to home as the temperatures drop. Look for Tailor and Salmon off the beaches or Bonito and Mac Tuna in the Harbour. Offshore, Mahi is still a possibility, with Blue Marlin on the cards, too.

Local species start to feed up for winter. The changing season can make fishing unpredictable, but Kingfish, Flathead, and Mulloway are common catches. Deep drop for Hapuka and Blue Eye Cod offshore.

As winter draws in, some Sydney anglers pull in their boats and take a break. But not us. This is a great time to catch Snapper over the inshore reefs. As for other species, there might be fewer of them, but they are better quality.&nbsp;

It might be cold, but don't let that stop you getting out. Look for tasty Squid, Trevally, and Bream in the Harbour, Snapper, Teraglin, and Kingfish over the inshore reefs, and Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Albacore Tuna offshore.

Believe it or not, this is a great time of year to fish offshore in Sydney, with Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna generally very good. Don't miss the SGFC Tuna Slam and the Geoff Woolley Memorial Monster Mako Tournament.

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.

The waters offshore begin to warm, meaning hook ups on Striped Marlin if you're lucky! Join in the local spirit at the Warringah Anglers Club's 'Hunt for Red October' Snapper competition - all proceeds go to charity.

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!

Peak tourist season hits Sydney as summer arrives. Head offshore for Marlin and Tuna or stay closer to home, fishing for Tailor, Kingfish, Salmon, Bonito, and much more. It doesn't get more festive than this!
