We are prepared to put the time and effort into the right person and train you in our systems and operation so you can become the best possible deckhand you can be.

As our Deckhand, you will not be fishing. Your job is to look after the customers and the deck.
Duties will include:

β’ Unhooking fish
β’ Tying rigs
β’ Serving food and drinks
β’ Cleaning and maintaining the vessel
β’ Fish counting and measuring
β’ Marking fish

Another 7 hour offshore trip today. Fresh winds chopping up the ocean but no big ground swell so comfortable fishing on anchor. A few went down to sea sickness today but we managed a feed π£

Excellent 7 hour offshore trip today for a group booking. Plenty of fish caught throughout the day and a solid mixed feed of keepers including two quality cobia. A few sharks gave us a touch up but always need to pay your taxes I guess π«‘ π¦
Another 7 hour offshore tomorrow, keen to get back out and see what we can put together π£
