recommend charter

can anybody reccommend a live aboard charter up north, thinking about somewhere off of broome or the montebello islands? open to all thoughts regarding time of year, locations etc as we're still the infancy stages of preparations. looking to be able to bottom bounce but also do some trolling or popping out of satellite boats if possible. cheers pete

Andy Mac went up to the Montes recently with Bernie Vale and Mahi Mahi 2 and I still hear him rave about it, I think he's almost given away fishing since! Wink

Click on the link on the left hand collumn under the Strike Zone and it will take you to Bernie's website.
