Rods and Reels
First things first: your fishing rod and reel are your bread and butter. Here at Deep End Fishing Charters, we provide top-notch rods and reels, ensuring you’re prepared for whatever the sea throws your way. Whether you’re chasing a feisty snapper or a monstrous mackerel, having the right gear is crucial. Our quality spinning reels, spooled with 50lb braid, ensure you’re ready to tackle the big ones.
Tackle and Terminal Gear
Hooks, line, sinkers, and lures—these might seem like the small fry, but they can make or break your fishing trip. At Deep End, we supply all the necessary tackle to optimise your chances of a great catch. It’s not just about having the gear; it’s about having the right gear. For instance, knowing when to use a specific lure can be the difference between a quiet day and a cracking catch.
Bait and Ice
No fishermen worth their salt would head out without bait. We provide high-quality bait to attract a range of fish. Whether it’s squid, pilchards, or mullet, we’ve got you covered. And let’s not forget the ice. Keeping your catch fresh until you get back to shore is vital—no one wants to brag about their “fish” sticks, right?
Trip Fishing Licenses
The last thing you want is to be caught out by the fisheries officer. At Deep End, we sort out all the necessary licenses so you can concentrate on what’s important—catching fish. This means you won’t have to navigate the paperwork and can instead enjoy the splendor of the Pacific Ocean.
Refreshments
Fishing can be hard yakka. That’s why we provide refreshments to keep you hydrated and energized. Whether you fancy a cold drink or a snack, we’ve got it onboard. After all, a well-fed fisher is a focused fisher.
Fish Cleaning and Bagging
Nobody enjoys the clean-up, do they? Lucky for you, our crew is happy to fillet and bag your fish. This means you can take your catch home ready to toss straight on the barbie. It’s these small touches that make Deep End trips unforgettable.
Why You Shouldn’t Forget the Sunscreen
The Aussie sun can be brutal. Always pack sunscreen with a high SPF, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses. Trust us, nothing spoils a trip like sunburn. A dab of zinc on the nose can make all the difference.
Clothing and Footwear
Dressing appropriately is key. Opt for lightweight, quick-drying clothes and non-slip shoes. You’ll be more comfortable and safer too. Remember, it’s better to be overdressed than underprepared. Layering helps you adapt to the everchanging conditions out at sea.
Other Essentials
Don’t forget a good pair of pliers for hook removal and a small first-aid kit just in case. A fishing knife comes in handy not only for slicing bait but also for any unforeseen needs. And if you’re a photography enthusiast, a waterproof camera or case can help capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Your Personal Touch
While we provide all the gear you’ll need, adding your personal touch can make the trip even more special. Favourite lucky lure? Bring it along. Your preference of snacks? Pop them in your bag. A bit of familiarity can add to your comfort level, making your time on the boat more enjoyable.
