Fishing with Colin

Lovely slow sturdy old boat, just what I like. I loved the fact that we didn't have to organize anything, as the gear, bait and even filleting was provided. Colin is a fantastic captain, very knowledgeable with amazing stories about his past experiences both here and abroad, spanning many decades. Very accommodating, when the weather did not comply, to reschedule at a time that suited. I went with my Dad, who was flown over from New Zealand as a surprise for my birthday, and we both enjoyed the day immensely. We caught plenty of fish, more than enough to feed the family waiting at home. Overall it was an awesome experience, and can't wait to do it again.

The skipper - lead deckhand and staff were very friendly and helpful. Weather wasnt good which limited moving to different spots once at sea - but also limited catching opportunities. My son and I only caught 1 fish each - some others didnt catch anything - nothing is guaranteed but that was a little disappointing and we started at 6:30am finished by noon. Its not deep sea fishing - just off the coast - so judge the value at $200 per head. Coffee facilities on board would have been welcome.

Great day outside but had a medium swell. Caught 4 flathead, 2 Blue makerel, 1 Schnapper, Whiting & Nani!

Prompt confirmation and discussion of pick up options from Colin Pick up as arranged Good safety and fishing briefing Great crew encouragement from Phillip No fish which was disappointing for an 8 year old! Would be good if there was an option for a parent to pay and a child is free or a reduced price given the parent is unable to fish and only one rod was used.
