Been on twice and first one with Mick (owner) was great. Went the other day and it wasn't much to rave on about,2 pinkies, handful of trag and 2 flatties between 9.Not many fish about, which I understand happens but not many moves to look for them on different ground, total of 3 moves all day. Not sure if I'd go again as you cant pick the others that go on it with you. Had a group of guys drinking heavily, playing loud music, jumping off the fly bridge in the open ocean and heading back to harbour. Skipper couldn't do much to control them as you cannot reason with drunk people. Pretty disappointing

We had the most magical day on the fishing charter. Friendly, helpful and competent staff, great gear and facilities, BIG and plentiful fish, and an overall fantastic day out. If you are thinking of treating yourself, or need a gift for a keen fisherman, I can't recommend this trip enough. Thanks Katrina and Mick for a a great day.

After a bit of a mix up with numbers the crew got it sorted quickly and came back to pick us up. We were given a hefty discount for the inconvenience and we had a great day fishing with heaps of Snapper and trag caught. The crew fixed any tangles promptly and kept all lines in the water. We were visited by whales and got some brilliant photos. We didn't catch anything really huge but there were some pretty big snapper caught on the boat. Anyway that's fishing. We would do it again any time.
