Sport Fishing Tours

RANGE:
Up to 30 nautical miles (44 kms) from the coast line.
EQUIPMENT:
High-tech rods, reels and lures are provided if you wish, or bring your own. IGFA line classes 15 and 24 Kg. and occasionally 36 Kg are used. With the excellent all-round access of the HALICAT stand-up fights are the go, but for the real big ones a game chair is also available. On the troll up to 10 lures can be out at any one time.
FISHING METHODS:
For Marlin trolling lures or baits. For tuna and sharks Burleying or cubing with pilchards or other offal.
CATCH:
The water is warmer here, where the bigger pelagic fish roam in search of food. There is good year-round fishing for Tuna species - Albacore, Yellowfin and Striped Tuna. During the warmer months, when tropical waters stream south, Pacific Blue, Black and Striped Marlin are available along with tropical fish such as Mahi Mahi and Wahoo. Sharks are caught year round with the predominant species being Mako, Blue and Tiger Shark. We do not encourage the killing of Marlin or Sharks. These are tagged and set free. To maintain fish stocks we endorse a policy of retaining enough of the catch for a good meal and releasing the rest for next time.

WHEN & WHERE:
Tours depart from Rose Bay Public wharf at 7.00am, returning at 3.30pm.

Night fishing on the continental shelf for broadbill is also available. Catering can be arranged for both groups and individuals.
