The Experience
Before You Go
Time your trip for morning bite
Depart early—calmer seas and active morning feeding often improve catch rates on reef species.
Bring seasickness remedies
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding.
Dress for sun and spray
Layer sun-protective clothing, a brimmed hat and non-slip shoes to handle wet decks and strong sunlight.
Know bag limits and rules
Follow size and bag limits and avoid restricted marine park areas—crew will advise but responsibility is yours.
