Montes charter options
Submitted by saltyseamen on Wed, 2020-12-30 19:09
Hey guys,
Looking at the best charter option for a week mid year for the Monties.
Give me your experiences good/bad.
Looking for jigging mainly and the option of top water and sails.
Have all our own gear.
Cheers

Blue lightning
Blue lightning. You will probably need to book the whole boat as I don't think any of them run a dry boat generally.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Apache Charters
I've done two trips to the Monties with Apache Charters (2017 & 2020) and will be doing another in 2021.
They have been excellent to our mob.
First trip in 2017 was my first experience jigging and hence became a convert.
On good days they focus on quality dermersals.
When the weather is poor, or 20kg of fillets are done (which can easily happen with a couple of good days of weather), they troll for coral trout, mackies, sailfish and other pelagics.
I caught my first sailie with them.
I take lots of my own gear, but they provide if you need.

I went with my son in early
I went with my son in early august with Montebello Island Safaris. They have a house boat that you live on and a 63ft boat to go bottom bouncing, topwater and such on. dinghys to go cruisin yourself around the islands and a jet boatt to go on a tour of the bomb sites and throwing lures at the shallow water for GT's and trout. I would highly recomennd them and go with them again.
I didn't want to be trapped on a boat for a week, hence I went with M.I.S.
