When you over hear the two young guys running your day ask where do you think we should go, you know that they have not plan there day before hand, drifting most of the trip, circle hooks, very hard to hook a fish. Motor broke down twice on the way back in. No fish at all, disappointed as had family from NZ that hadn’t been on a charter in Australia, definitely will not be using this company again.

I recommend booking a charter in June and taking the family. while the fishermen get some fishing on the ones that just want to sit back and take in the view can enjoy the wonders of the wildlife like dolphins coming right up the boat and whales putting on a show.

Parents of budding young fishos - this ones for you! Captain Vincent was brilliant from start to fish-finish. Including our 5yrold & forever baiting up for us beginners. Couldn't recommend a better family fun fishing charter.

You will get very wet feet so wear weather proof gear, especially shoes (or take them off once on the boat).

Make sure you speak with the skipper about payment and pick-up location! Seemed some info on the generic website can be misleading.

It’s still a bit chilly with the wind but we had a lovely sunny day. We never expect to catch anything as that’s how fishing goes. But we did catch a few so there’s definitely fish around ?

I was lucky to catch some good fish but some others didn’t. But that’s fishing!!
