"During Broome’s Dry season nutrient rich waters flood in to the local waters and bring with them truly amazing numbers of marine life. Cruising out to our destination at a speed of around 20 knots, Dan will take you to some of the most fish rich waters left on the planet. Whilst waiting for that big one to come along you can expect to be entertained by the playful antics of hundreds of dolphins and the majesty of Humpback whales at play as they cruise to their northern feeding grounds. As well as marine life as any good fisherman knows where there’s fish there’s birds and Broome is no exception. As the fish come on and go off the bite, we shall follow the action until the day can be called a success.
Throughout the excitement...
