Montes charter options

 Hey guys, 

 

Looking at the best charter option for a week mid year for the Monties. 
Give me your experiences good/bad. 
Looking for jigging mainly and the option of top water and sails. 
Have all our own gear. 
 

Cheers

 Blue lightning. You will probably need to book the whole boat as I don't think any of them run a dry boat generally.

Apache Charters

Wed, 2020-12-30 23:08

I've done two trips to the Monties with Apache Charters (2017 & 2020) and will be doing another in 2021.
They have been excellent to our mob.
First trip in 2017 was my first experience jigging and hence became a convert.
On good days they focus on quality dermersals.
When the weather is poor, or 20kg of fillets are done (which can easily happen with a couple of good days of weather), they troll for coral trout, mackies, sailfish and other pelagics.
I caught my first sailie with them.
I take lots of my own gear, but they provide if you need.

 I went with my son in early

 I went with my son in early august with Montebello Island Safaris. They have a house boat that you live on and a 63ft boat to go bottom bouncing, topwater and such on. dinghys to go cruisin yourself around the islands and a jet boatt to go on a tour of the bomb sites and throwing lures at the shallow water for GT's and trout. I would highly recomennd them and go with them again. 

I didn't want to be trapped on a boat for a week, hence I went with M.I.S.
