I booked a charter with Craig for my son's 14th birthday. We had a great day, and managed to catch bonito, tailor, kingfish and a jewfish. Craig provided the gear and knowledge to put us in the best position to catch fish. My son had a great time, and hasn't stopped bragging about his kingfish to his mates. We will definitely be back.

Great days fishing all up.. started early and went and caught some live bate for the kings. After that we tried a few spots and my mate and I both caught the biggest fish we ever have!! One king fish was 103cm and the other about 115cm he was bigger than the measuring stick we had 🤣.. Craig is a great host and really knows his stuff!! I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to go catch some big fish!!

Had an awesome time on the Sydney Harbour with Fishabout! Caught a tonne of fish, the captain was a total legend—super friendly with loads of fishing know-how. The whole experience was a breeze, and it was genuinely a blast for myself and my teenage son! (we all know they’re the toughest judge of all!) Can't wait to reel in more memories with these guys again this Easter. Ten out of ten recommended!

Had an amazing time out in Sydney harbour fishing. We started of the day catching some Cuttles and a big squid for bait then went and caught 17 kings. We learnt heaps of the charter and I would highly recommend going on a charter with Craig.
