what kind of charter?

Tue, 2008-09-02 21:18

night or day?

jigging / bottom bashing / trolling?

way out wide or relatively close?

preferred area/port of departure?

small charter or large charter?

approximate budget?

 

 

There are literally a million and one options - you need to be a touch more specific in what you want to do.

Hey Fisho

Have a look at this thread.

Personally, I have tried a few. Blue Juice is ok, Mills gets pretty crowded. Nebraska is good.

Just don't go one one locally,wait for one of the boys to ask for a deckie and ask them!
After the reports I have heard why would you?????
Save some cash and do the right thing by the skipper!

well said goat! flangies, most guys here, who have boats, would have gear to lend you for the day mate.... just clear it up before hand is all, not on the day!!

mills charters

Wed, 2008-09-03 08:30

Cant go wrong with mills charters mate, every time i have gone out i have caught heaps of fish.Mainly Pink and queen snapper...they have the cheapest price as well.If you want Dhuifish ive been out with Aqualib down at Manurah a few times and always caught my bag limit.  Also went out on Jaws fishing charters...to catch sambos..it was good..but very sore arms!

after going out on mills and nebraska, the later wins hands down by a long way, but agree with goat, would be cheaper getting a deckie spot on a members boat and getting out, you will learn alot more and prob get better fish too
