Well Good day all

From screaming reels, it’s been an EPIC few months.

The Tuna just seem to hang around with plenty of that younger 30kg fish and a few 65-70kg fish in-between.

As usual we have been very busy on both the FISHING and PELAGIC BIRDING Charters.

Traditionally for this time of year a few MARLIN have been caught, most of them striped marlin of 80kg to 120kgs all released successfully. Theres a little in-house competition running with some CASH on the line so watch this space.

The inshore YELLOWTAIL fishing was good till this ragging south easter reared its head together with an easterly and that turned the area ICE COLD!

That together with our very few Rock Lobster days made for some fun Half Day Charters.

The Good news is March, April and May are PRIME TUNA TIMES with our TUNA NATIONALS competition ( from the 12th to 17th of April) our TUNA MASTERS competition ( From the 19th to 23rd of MAY ) so it can only get better NEPTUNE WILLING.

Our Pelagic Birding Charters under the watchful eyes from Zest for Birds has produced some fantastic sightings.

So, if it’s a good day your after with FISH, FUN, sense of humour and a knowledgeable experience your after, you found the right operator.
