Fishing Charter, Evans Head, NSW

Primarily going for snappers, means lead down to 80 meters and with two hooks we had good success. 11 People caught over 50 fish in five hours active fishing, out of which two were 20 - Pounds - snappers. Skipper knew where to take us and was generally very knowledge about fishing and species. Upon hooking Rock Cods he was always alert that not anyone of us removed the hook (fish is poisonous) and jumped to our help, same when lines got entangled. Gutting the fish took place on the cleaning tables directly at the harbour and NOT on the boat (good!). Charge: A$ 150 per head for six hours in total is reasonable, success was there, so all in all I recommend it.

Booking was not a problem, we were able to negotiate an alternate day as conditions weren't favourable on the original planned day. The owner kept in contact prior to the day, keeping me well informed on expected conditions etc. Eight of us headed out on a perfect morning at 6am sharp. The skipper was awesome, putting us right on the spot from the very first drift. Within minutes we were reeling in solid snapper, drag & flathead. We had enough fish for all onboard within just a few hours. The skipper was super knowledgable of the area, friendly and keen to make sure we were all having a good day. The boat is well equipped and good to fish from. We all had a great day, I'll be booking another trip for sure!
