There is no easy way to answer this question as there are so many variables that can affect the day such as wind, air pressure and moon phase. The 'best time' to fish changes from week to week. However, our strike rate at any time of day is excellent as we only target species in their peak seasons.

NO!! hehe

Yes, providing the numbers comply with bag limits.
With the exception of breeding gummy sharks (usually 15+kg), which are usually released.

We accept cancellations two weeks prior to your charter, providing that you book another date. Any cancellations after this will unfortunately void deposit.

We do everything we can to maintain sustainable fishing and at times we will continiue to catch and release depending on the species and water depth. This decision is at the skipper's discretion.
