Tuesday: We’ll be making our way to the northern side of the Montes, trolling around Tryal Rocks before making our way down the western side of the Montes.
Wednesday: After you’ve had your fill of Barrow Island, we’ll make our way south to Serrurier Island (also known as Long Island) for the evening.
Thursday: Continue fishing or change things up with a snorkel near Flat Island and Peak Island. Then, it’s time to head back to Exmouth.
Friday: You’re welcome to stay on the boat until 8.00am, when we’ll need to get ready for our next charter. Your catch will be packed and sealed in your complimentary foam esky, ready to take home.
