Any captain can be great on a whole trip where the whole time is drop and reel, but a truly great captain excels when the fishing is slow going. Mark gave us a fantastic trip despite a slow bite, and we all look forward to going again next time we are around Melbourne!

What a wonderful day fishing, took my two daughters and their boyfriends out fishing, the two girls had all the luck and outperformed the boys. Mike did his best and we were lucky that every place he stopped we caught fish, lots of them. Mike is a very helpful captain, constantly helping take off fish and all up a very pleasant guy whose interest is to get you onto the fish. Having tried many charters I can say Mike has been the best so far. From myself and the kids thanks for the great... More
