Although our vessel the ENCOUNTER II is available for specific trips to particular locations, all tours are made by arrangement with the client. Our most popular destination is Kangaroo Island's Ante Chamber Bay as it is a most scenic and interesting trip that is accessible in all but the worst weather conditions. Weather conditions do dictate the direction and destination of the day, but the fact that Backstairs Passage is scenic and protected from various weather angles more than compensates. To anyone not familiar with the locale our advice is to leave the details to the skipper on the day.

The day begins at 7:30am at the Cape Jervis landing and ends at approximately 4:00pm. Rods & tackle, bait, ice are supplied. Customers generally bring their own lunch and drinks, but by prior arrangement any situation can be catered for.

At $175 per day per person (5-7 people only per trip) any day is available provided it is not booked. Be aware though that weekends are the most popular time to tour. We can also arrange composite parties of pairs or individuals all though these are less frequent.
If you wish to purchase a fishing day as a present, gift vouchers are available

WE SUPPLY large ice boxes, gaffs, nets, basic tackle and baits including pilchards, cockles and squid. Special arrangements are made prior to the trip.
YOU WILL NEED TO BRING lunch and any drinks you may prefer, sunburn cream and sunglasses, weatherproof or other suitable clothing. Don't forget your camera!

TACKLE SUGGESTIONS (if you bring your own): There are two rods that cover nearly all types of fishing here. One of 10kg capacity spooled with 10-15kg line, using any reel you prefer, is suitable for Snapper. Various leads up to 1 kg are recommended, as are hooks sizes 3-0 to 6-0. A rod with a whippy end is suitable for whiting, sweep and for flicking lures to salmon. I recommend an eggbeater reel spooled with 4-6kg line with a large swivel to which can be attached various lines and bottoms that will cover all situations here.
