Bucaneer 2015
Submitted by Vinesh87 on Wed, 2015-08-05 18:47
Another awesome Bucaneer Archipelgo trip done, and what a trip!
Went much further this year 800+kms. All the way to the Sale and Glenelg river.With stopovers in silvergull,3 ways, ruby falls,kinfisher and sleeping in the Montogery reef for a night with all the sharks rushing over the reef to get in to the hole. What a sight. A quick swim in the whole to see schools of 60cm plus jacks, trout and everything you can imagine.
From charging Hammerheads,tigers,crocs to 100kg+ unstoppable gropers, fresh water barra, salt water barra and all the usual jacks,trout,fingermark,queenies etc etc. No record fish caught but plenty even though the fishing was hard in 12knot + tides.
Enjoy the pictures(more to come)

Great Photo's
And looked like a top trip.
How long did the trip go for? What was the total cost per man?
Looked at doing similar but costs were calculated as too much..:(

We went for 8 nights which is a good time!
Total cost per person didnt really work it out to be honest but it would have been between 1200-1500ish. This was on a Private boat that my cuz has in Broome. I believe on a charter its around the 8-10k mark!

Wow even at the top end of $1500 that is pretty good value.
We had the added expence of getting a large boat from Perth up to there. Only 4 blokes and our alcohol expence was calculated to 1/3 of your total each..Lol
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the photo's.
