Response from Captain

Hello Paul, I know it's disappointing when we don't catch fish, I get disappointed, unfortunately, fish don't always bite. Out of 6 Charter boats out yesterday, the top catching boat was 4 fish out of 16 passengers, which I told you about, all the other boats got nothing, just one of those days, fortunately, they don't happen that often. In our defence, we did travel to several different reefs trying to find fish ' on the bite ' and we did hook a Marlin, which sadly, we did not land. I do give my heart and soul to fishing Paul. Sometimes it's the journey, not the destination. Cheers

    Outstanding morning out onnthe water!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    I took my son out for his birthday and he had one goal for the day: catch something he could bring home and feed the family with. Safe to say, he was pretty happy to tick that box! We caught some great flathead and trag jew and had an awesome morning doing it. The captain was outstanding. Great energy from start to finish, really good with my son, and you could tell he was genuinely out there to make sure everyone had a great time. His energy rubbed off on the whole boat and made the experience even better. A fantastic birthday experience for my son and a morning we’ll both remember. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

    gold coast big one!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    We had an incredible experience on this fishing charter from start to finish! The captain and crew were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable throughout the trip. Their expertise and hard work put us right on the fish, and they were always willing to share tips and answer questions. The highlight of the day was catching a huge shark, which made for an unforgettable experience and an amazing story to tell. The boat was well-maintained, the trip was well-organized, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. If you’re looking for a fun, exciting, and successful fishing trip, I highly recommend this charter. We can’t wait to come back! in

    You win some, you lose some !

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Drew and the crew were absolute legends and were very accomodating and knowledgable, unfortunately the fish weren’t on today and we weren’t able to get to the spots due to a technical malfunction and needed a tow back in. Spirits were kept high and Drew offered us another trip to have a proper crack. Would recommend booking this charter with Drew and his crew. Side note also came in kissing distance with a pod of whales which was unreal.
