• Route: Boat captain will be taking us to various well known fishing spots in the north eastern waters. The route is not fixed but rest assured we will be following where the fish go! Along the way, your guide will be orientating you on the equipment, assisting you to land the fish and to de-hook, disentangle and get you out of tight snags. He will also teach you basic bottom fishing from a boat.

• Tour will end at 6pm, after which you may wash up at the facilities nearby. All non-juvenile fishes may be brought home to enjoy. We try to release the juveniles and the breeding female fishes to conserve the environment. 
• In the event of inclement weather, the captain will assess the situation and can either take shelter at sheltered bays.
• In case of man-overboard or injury, the guide/captain will perform the rescue and perform basic first aid - also, depending on the severity of injuries the guide has every right to halt the tour (including fishing) temporarily and resume the activity once the situation/incident has resolved and all participants are safe. We have had 0 man-overboard and 0 fatal incidents to date, lets keep it that way!
