2016 Montebello Islands trip with Blue Lightning Charters

Submitted by da_houghsta on Thu, 2015-10-08 23:03

 Hi Guys,

I have currently booked for a charter next year with Blue Lightning Charters with Chad Mills for November to the Montebello Islands, from Karratha - seems like most of the year was already booked so had to get in fast to secure a spot! I went with Chad Mills and the boys at Blue Lightning last year in September and had an absolute ball. I am looking for a total of 8 people to come with me for the 7 night charter aboard to fish for everything from Mackerel, Coral Trout, Rankin Cod and more, as well as the Giant Trevally. November is set to be a key time for these hard-hitting fish, despite the heat, and I am hoping to put the tackle to the test! I am taking deposits now, you can lock in your spot before they all go, please PM me for further information, or, e-mail me at . I am happy to discuss tackle requirements, payments, and the general experience, whatever questions you have about the trip. Last year we did have one lady on board, and the charter does cater for this, so don't feel that it is a guys-only trip if any women are interested.

***Edit***
