More on Fishing

There are three types of fishing charters, Game Fishing, Reef Fishing and In Harbour Fishing.

Game Fishing is a full day (9 hours) event where you travel about 30 miles offshore in the search of big game fish such as Marlin, Yellow Fin Tuna and Sharks. Target Species is determined by the time of year and prevailing conditions and the boat is in constant motion the entire day. Game Fishing is an action packed day of fishing well out to sea.

Reef Fishing, also known as Deep Sea fishing, is where you head out to deep sea about 12 miles out, in search of fish in and around the various reefs of Sydney.

In Harbour Fishing consists of a four hour fishing charter within the harbour. This is a more relaxed day of fishing in fairly calm water.
