This fish is one of the true prizes of Australian tropical seas.” -author... read more

Greetings We had some very good flounder fishing over the past week. Fishing was best on the days we were able to drift. Tuesday and Wednesday we saw numerous limits with fish up to 5lbs. Seabass fishing was spotty at best. We did have a couple fish that were around 4lbs but the bite was […]

Greetings Not much change in the fishing over the last week.  We still are having a slow pick on the seabass some days better than others. Flounder fishing is decent when the weather cooperates. The largest flounder of the week tipped the scales at 4.5lbs. We are sailing daily  from 730am to 200pm. The cost […]

Greetings Its been a while since our last report. Seabass fishing has been mediocre over the last month. Most days we are sending everyone home with enough for dinner.  We did catch our largest seabass of the year last week.

The trip around the tip of Australia was one of the best we’ve experienced thus far with only light winds to about 10knots trailing us. With Cairns copping a beating from the ex-Tropical Cyclone Tim the day after we left port to head north it seemed like we timed our departure very well. This is one of our anchorages on the journey north on the Ea...
