Getting a night
Text us and we will pick the night around the tide.
There is no calendar to fight with. Send the dates that suit you and how many are coming, and you get a real answer back with a time on it, because the tide decides when we leave and the tide moves about fifty minutes a day.
A $200 deposit holds the night. The $750 balance is paid on the night, by card or cash at the pontoon.

The run of the night
Four hours, and none of them in daylight.
You meet the boat at the pontoon we agreed, about twenty minutes before dark. The skipper runs you out to whichever spot the tide is favouring, gets the lights on and the lines in, and moves you when the bite moves.
Everything is worked around the tide rather than the clock, which is the part a shore session cannot do. Read what that looks like month by month on the tides and best times page.
What is included
You bring the gear. We bring everything else.
You bring
Rods, tackle, bait, food, drinks and a jacket for the cooler months.
We bring
The boat, the skipper, deck lights, life jackets, a bag of ice and the spots.
Rod hire, a bait and ice pack and a squid light kit are on the night fishing charter prices page if you would rather turn up with nothing.

Seaway North Wall
Winter jewfish, tailor, bigeye trevally and squid on a rising tide.
