Two seats available for a four night live aboard charter in Darwin this October

 Hey guys, its been a while! Hope everyone is well

 

Going on a 4 night live aboard charter in darwin with arafura in early october. There WAS ten of us locked in, but as normally happens two have pulled out. 

So two seats have become avaiable, i was just wondering if anyone on here would be interested.

 

**INFO TAKEN FROM SITE**

 

3, 4 & 5 Day Charters  (Please be aware areas fished may change due to current weather or fishing conditions)

These charters open up a huge area of remote territory fishing depending on weather, the time of year and tidal movement.

One the larger tides we head past the Perron Islands to the remote fish rich grounds near Cape Scott, Emu Reef & Cape Ford again home to Red emperor, golden snapper, Tricky snapper, jew fish, tusk fish, bar cheek coral trout to name just a few and with some trolling thrown in to give the arms a rest and the chance to tussle with some Spanish mackerel or land a trophy sail fish.                             For the truly adventurous fisho a long steam through the night some 170 nm will see you close to international waters. Fishing the remote Tassie, Evans or Flinders shoals, these trips are limited to the calmest times of the year and specific tides. The fishing is world class, with some of the finest table fish in abundance and some awe inspiring sports fishing as well. With exotic species like the powerful Dog tooth Tuna, the electric blue of the blue trevally and the chance to tackle with one of the oceans fastest fish, the impressive Wahoo, all this between the main game, chasing gold band snapper, small and large mouth Nannygai, red emperor, long nose emperor, coral trout, corination trout, trout cod and a myriad of other species never seen close to Darwin. On past trips we have had several encounters with sail fish and large Black Marlin. Again on the last morning tides permitting a stop at Cape Fourcroy on the way home for a Black Jew if your arms still work.

All tackle is provided however if you wish to bring along your own gear we suggest a minimum of 50 lb braid, a good jigging outfit and some Gulp soft plastics will add to the fun whilst drifting the shallower grounds and the trout love them.

We suggest that you have at least one night in Darwin on return from the trip, this will give our staff time to ensure your catch is properly frozen and allow us to pack it in an air line approved box. (The cost of the box is $15.00AUD and holds approx 10-12 kg+ of fillet.) This will be ready for collection on your way to the air port, at Top End Tackle World Stuart Highway Pinelands. Open 8.30am-6pm Monday- Friday. Saturday 8am-5pm and Sundays 8am-4pm. Please note: Tackle World Pinelands is 18km's from Darwin City and  15km's to the airport.

 

***COST***

$2300 pp (not including flights  or accomadation in darwin)

The charter leaves at 3.30pm on october the 1st, gets back in the arvo on the 5th

We are staying at a back packers in darwin one night either side of the charter if thats interests you as well.

 

If anyone is interested or needs anymore info let me know on here or email me a

you can also check ou the arafura website to see some more info on the fishing.

 

Cheers

That sounds bloody awesome.

I was about to write 'if only I were back in Aus I would definitely lock that in' but realised I am, however am back for a mate's wedding on the 4th. Not sure he'd fancy me fishing instead!

Am sure you'll get someone to take those places, and will definitely add this to my list of trips to do. Good price too.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

 like this for 5 days for another charter out of darwin ended up close to indo for the best fishing...just to let you know 1 day in darwin after the trip is not enough,  I needed close to a week just to recover from the unbelievable fishing we had..some spots we were in over 200m of water, great fun can't wait to do it again.. I'm sure you will find someone to fill the spot
