Title: Albany Island Fishing Charters
Post by: yogi on March 12, 2014, 01:34:47 PM: Hi All,

I am looking at booking a full day fishing charter from these guy's for Thursday 03/07/2014, lunch and gear is included, cost will be approximately $200 each depending on numbers. Let me know if you are interested.

We have always hired a boat and done our own thing but after several years and limited success thought it was time to try the pro's and see where they fish so next time I am up there I will know where to go ;D

Thanks

Rito mate put down as a defo starter, I don't have the sort of gear needed for the charter you speak of, but I think you said it was supplied anyway, but im keen as, it was my intention to do one from Weipa, but this will work out better I think.

Now to get my sickness piles sorted....... :P :P :P :P

Let me know if you need a deposit of sorts.

Regards Swanny :cheers:

Will there be any bottom fishing. The best eating fish come from there, coral trout, sweetlip, cod etc.

Bert
Title: Re: Albany Island Fishing Charters
Post by: yogi on March 20, 2014, 12:17:16 PM: Hi Bert,

It's catch and release for the most part but I think they let you keep one or two. As for what you can target it's totally up to us and the weather.

Thanks
yogi

Post by: yogi on April 10, 2014, 08:12:33 AM: Looks like there are only 3 who are keen .... so that means more room on the boat and more lunch to share .... lol

$800 is the charge for the charter so do the math and let me know if your still keen. Also if anyone else is a maybe let me know that to.

Thanks
yogi

Day Fishing Charter CAPE YORK

CY Fishing Charters is offering you an opportunity to get a ‘taste’ of the Cape! Whether you are an experienced Angler ticking yet another fishing destination off your ‘to do list’, or if you are a first timer wanting to experience fishing at its best, our day charter will certainly deliver.

Package Inclusions: Transfers to/from Somerset Beach, 6 hour fishing charter & fully prepared lunch.

Conditions: Minimum 4 persons for charter to operate. Maximum 10 persons. Weather permitted.

I have spoken with them via email and they indicated all gear is supplied it is mostly catch and release (as it should be). Once we have exact numbers I will follow up with more detail.

Thanks

Post by: swanny on April 12, 2014, 07:57:41 AM: Thanks mate, looking forward to it, hopefully we can keep 1 or 2 of our fish...nothing over the top of course.

Thanks again.
