Diversity bluewater charters

Hey readers , up in Exi at the moment and went out with these guys ,they have only been operating a month or so .  They run a brand new 8m Leisure cat and only 4-5 guys .Fish , spear or what ever you want to do , I was lucky ,only guy booked but they were going out anyway , so got to make the call on what to do ! Choices choices !

Was a great day out . Got to troll first up for macks with 3 coming on board and the suprise of a good rankin trolling 20-30 m ,all in the first hr ! From there head for a bottom drop on some good ground , good fish , but as usual , sharks ruined it ! Made the call to go out to 100m mark , for goldband and assorted but was a bit quiet , but Mick the owner was onto it , move on to other spots in same depth . Did this the rest of day , ended up with a good haul of another rankin , plus goldband , pearl perch  ,robinsons seabream , a nice spangi and other assorted stuff .

Bummer some obviously great fish were lost to sharks , got two to the boat which from 100m I'm paying for now ! On top of all that saw a couple of sails going nuts jumping at least 6 times and whales everywhere with one hanging at the boat for ten minutes even rubbing past the lines ! Fantastic day out and would recommend them any day of the week . Was $ 350 , but only because it was myself , $ 330 if 2-4 people . That is pick up , lunch , snacks , cooldrink , not to mention coming back with a mountain of fillets of half doz quality fish !

And no , I am not getting anything from these guys , just beats going with 12 or more on a ex cray boat and gettin 2 fish and shit service . If you think its too much $$ , think of what it takes to tow your own boat , costs gear , fuel , etc . Great value day out in my books .Local guys Mick and Pete Dixon , 0488 009 989 Exmouth .  Cheers guys , had a ball !

Sounds like a great charter, having the flexibility of spearing also will bring in the punters. Maybe that peanut slagging exmouth because he can't catch a fish should have looked at something like this!

Good mob having a dig at giving punters sum good ol quality service and thats what u get. We got a good mixed bag of rubys goldband and pearlys. 

 

Hope there is no confusion, look em up at for a good day out.

 sounds like a great day out for you. yeah the price is high but look at what you get back. a great day on the water with a good feed of top quality fish to take home. you can spend big bucks on other charters and bring home fa.

good to hear positive reports on charter

Tue, 2012-08-28 15:55

i think a lot of us have had some bad experiances on charters and have become a bit wary of going on some of them, i'm the first to admit that charter operators can put you over good fish but can't make them bite,however when this happens quite a few times it puts me of from going with the same one when other boats just about always produce the goods

Thank you Handi 1

Booked a charter on the strength of this thread and can say these guys are the real deal.

Everything you said is true. Fantastic experience, great boat and a genuine willingness to meet and exceed the customer expectations.

On the charter we headed north to the islands to spend a day trawling. Bearing in mind this is late August so whales everywhere (one breaching multiple times within 200m of boat), weather was kind (dead calm) and Exmouth didn't disappoint.

Around lunch time we took a break and headed to the marine sanctuary on North Murion Island for a snorkel, this was fantastic in its own right.

As to the fish we caught, they filleted them and vacuum packed them for the trip home. Above and beyond service.

Will recommend this charter to anyone heading to Exmouth.

We plan to go again next year and will book in advance.

Thanks again Handi 1 for the recommendation

I went out with them earlier this year, caught 2 marlin for the day and had an absolute ball. Pete and Mick are great blokes- laid back and happy to be out on the water.
