Although our primary focus, due to customer request, is reef fishing or "bottom bashing" we are also able to cater for those wishing to troll for pelagic species and sport fish.

All scheduled charters are subject to suitable weather conditions. If the forecast winds are too strong, the vessel will not be taken offshore. The safety of our passengers is always a primary concern, and we will not put our passengers at risk. Charters will be rescheduled to suit all concerned wherever possible.

There are many deep water reef areas within 15 nautical miles of 1770, and these are our prime fishing grounds. These areas are abundant with Nannygai, Sweetlip, Cod, Cobia, Mackerel, Hussar and Parrot. There is also the opportunity to catch the ever-desired Red Emperor and Coral Trout.

Following the coastline from 1770 in a northerly direction you reach Bustard Head and the Bustard Head Lighthouse. Offshore from here are rocks that surface from 100ft of blue water. These are fantastic fishing grounds for Mackerel, Tuna, Trevally, Snapper (in season) and is also great bottom fishing terrain.

Trawler wrecks lie on the ocean floor off the 1770 coastline. These wrecks provide great fishing all year round for Cobia, Tuna, Trevally, Cod and the occasional reef species.

A full day charter runs for 10 hours. You will be collected in the tender boat from the beach at 1770 Camping Grounds at 6am, and ferried to the charter vessel. You are returned to the same beach at approximately 4pm, catch in hand.
