A very good experience with the crews on the boat, the captain was very nice and telling us how to fish and taking us right at the top of the school of fish. We caught a lot of snappers, mulloway and tusk fish. Had a great day out except the sea sick. Even though I was getting sea sick and didn’t caught much, the people that were on the same boat as me was keen to share their catch with me. Cheers. Will be back and try the shorter charter.

Nick and Jake were very accommodating and welcoming. Took us to several locations but the fishes weren't interested, which is not their fault. Skipper had good knowledge and experience and was very nice. Will try again.
