About
We start with fishing for mackerel, if we catch enough, and we usually do, we fillet and BBQ the fish on board. If the seal are on our raft we sail by for a close up look at our Harbour Seal, they love laying out in the sun. Before heading back to port we will haul a lobster trap, rock crab pot and mussel sock, giving you an overview of each fishery. Its a lot to take in in a 2 hour trip. We have a water dispenser on board so bring your own water container if you wish, there are also soft drinks and energy bars free on the boat. We do have a small clean washroom and cabin heaters. The boat has a cover so we still go in the rain. We supply all the gear needed.
