Unbeatable fishing experience
We had the most incredible fishing experience and it was made truly unforgettable by Mark, who was an outstanding guide from start to finish. He was kind, patient, and unbelievably knowledgeable, you can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone on board to have the best time. My children were completely captivated and will be talking about this day for years to come. We caught five fish, a shark, and even two crabs, which absolutely made their day! It was the perfect mix of excitement, learning, and fun, and we felt so well looked after the entire time. We will be back annually.
Excellent afternoon on the water, catching fish & eating crab
We visited five fishing spots, where between the participants (4a, 3t, 4c) we caught 40-50 undersized fish and one keeper, a 34cm whiting. It was gutted and cleaned to take home for dinner. There was a wide range of fish- bream, ponyfish, flathead and estuary cod. Boat Captain Mark was very chatty and helpful. A simple variety of snacks included a can of drink, water, chips, choc, lamingtons, and biscuits- quite fine! We lifted 3 prevailed crab pots- each had one female crab which was returned to the water. Male crabs eluded us, but Mark was prepared with fresh crab he cooked on the boat. OMG, the ‘fresh’ crab meat was a sweet delicacy. Highly recommend this experience, it was great fun for kids to try fishing and fun for adults too.

Fantastic experience with an awesome captain! 5 Stars for me!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Captain Mark is a really great tour guide with a lot of knowledge, tips & tricks and a great conversationalist. Lunch included, crab tasting was absolutely beautiful and I managed to catch 3 fish! Would 100% do this tour again as the experience was awesome!
