When it comes to chasing Pelagic fish in Australia, there are very few places that rival East Coast of NSW. We are fortunate to be located only 18nm from the Continental Shelf that spans across the East Coast of Australia and is a highway for large Pelagic species including:
Marlin (Stripe, Black, Blue)
When: Summer
The warm water that pushes down with the Eastern Current each year brings an abundance of bait fish, and around here bait fish equals Marlin!
Once you are hooked up, you will soon realise why its considered the pinnacle of fishing!
Techniques include Lures, Live Baits, Skip Baits and Switch Baiting.
Tuna (Yellowfin, Bluefin, Albacore)
When: All Year (Depending on Species)
Nothing tests out your endurance like a big Tuna, they are known for going deep and staying deep.
The Bluefin run can last from Weeks to only Days! Therefore if they are on your bucket list, let us know because you will need to drop everything when they turn up!
Techniques include Lures and Cubing.
Mahi Mahi)
When: Spring, Summer
The fastest growing fish in the ocean, and one of the tastiest!
Found around floating structures and FAD's, you can actually see these fish luminated within the water.
Techniques include Lures, Live Baits, Skip Baits, cut baits.
Shark (All Species)
When: All Year
Typically we don't target shark species, however it is not uncommon to hook up to sharks whilst targeting other pelagic species.
The sight of a Mako shark launching out of the water seconds after engulfing a live bait intended for a marlin will certainly get your heart racing!
As every fisherman knows, Game Fishing is not for everyone, it involves hours and hours of patients, a roller-coaster of emotions, and a lot of deflating days! However on the day when the stars align, there's not a drug in the world that can give you the rush that Game Fishing can provide! Creating memories that last the test of time!
REEF FISHING
Wether you are looking to target a specific species, or just want to catch a few fish and bring home a fresh feed, we can cater for you. With excellent reef structures and contours only a short distance from the Marina, we can have you on the spot in no time. Each charter is personalised to your group to maximise the success rate of captures.
Kingfish
When: All Season
Pound for Pound arguably the hardest fighting fish on the East Coast.
The bite can last hours or minutes with every bait being demolished, then at times they will simply shut down and won't bite at all.
Techniques include Fresh Baits, Live Baits, Jigs and lures.
Snapper
When: All Season
There is no mistaking the head thumps from a snapper!
From the moment you hook up until they are in the net, they will have your heart in your month.
Snapper are a true trophy fish, prized for their hard fight, relative elusiveness, striking appearance and fantastic eating qualities.
Techniques include Fresh Bait, Soft Plastics, micro jigging and Cubing.
Flathead
When: All Season
Considered one of the tastiest fish in the ocean!
If you enjoy getting consistent bites and bringing home a feed of fresh fish, a flathead session is a must and can be incorporated into your charter.
Techniques include Fresh Baits.
Mixed Reef Species
When: All Season
There are literally hundreds of reef species on the offshore areas surrounding Batemans Bay that are great fun to catch and are excellent table fish.
If you are wanting to bring home a feed and have some fun this is the charter for you.
