Too many customers for the crew. Seemed like there was more time spent untangling lines and watching others pull up tuna than I spent fishing. We did catch 6 good mac tuna, although it was the crew who hooked them up, we just reeled them in. Kind of defeats the purpose. The best part of fishing is the strike. Any old gumby can turn a handle.

Hi Glen You fished a Saturday afternoon session. Saturdays are our busiest days, all local charter boats operate at full capacity on Saturdays. If you want to be on a boat with less people, id recommend putting together your own small group and paying the extra for a private charter. Bottom fishing can be a bit quiet on afternoon sessions, that's why the guys chase the Tuna, they do take some skill to get to to the boat. Tangles are art of all charters, all though the amount of tangles does depend on the conditions and skill levels of the anglers on board. thanks for your feedback.

Great day perfect weather. Well looked after by the crew. Caught a few Tuna and a variety of other ocean dwellers. Had a friendly dolphin stay with us eating any discarded burley. Totally enjoyed the experience would recommend and would book again....
