Cracking start to our 2021season and my 41 st, Fished the Naish family from SA and caught some great red emporer and nannygai and coral trout and a 700 lb Black Marlin and had bites out of 2 other big fish in the 900 lbrange.

The boat is running well and if you can join us for a great trip

cheers

Well where do you start? and I guess where do you finish? There was some great little spurts of action this season and some amazing weather,we ended with 6 fish over 800 lb and a fish a day for the season,there was a consistent bite for most of late October and November but early October was slow and inconsistent.

the Jones family from Melbourne will remember their trip for some time I am sure they had great fishing and got a sat tag into a healthy 800 lb fish….update to follow.

Looking forward to a great year next year and I still have some dates available. All the best for the xmas and New year period
