Busy afternoon session with our crew, finding the snook and trevally co-operating on the incoming tide.
I took a couple of minutes out to watch the fish finder today while our clients were busy on the trevally.
Kevin and I are proud to advise that Reel Screamer Fishing Charters has met the requirements of Level One: Quality Tourism Essentials and Level Two: Sustainable Tourism of the Quality Tourism Framework's (QTF) from TiCSA.
Cracker weather conditions during the week. Cant wait to get our crews out straight after this next blow. The whiting will be ready to bite.
Regular customer Justin showed his class with a nice 43cm Point Turton whiting, followed up with a bin of snook and trevally. A very busy cleaning table today.
Busy couple of days, great to have happy customers aboard who appreciate good fishing and enjoy our office.

The whiting were a pain all day today, with the buggers not coming easy but Renee had the knack in the afternoon session, bagging quite a few for the family meal.
We hosted St Peters College today, with three separate student groups all catching fish. Teacher Jamie is shown playing up to camera.
We had to wait until the northerly wind backed off before heading out but Narelle and the 2 Daniels enjoyed a boat limit session on King George whiting. As a result, there will be whiting fillets and salt / pepper squid sizzling in the local caravan park tonight and for the remainder of their holidays.
Today's crew enjoyed a boat limit of quality King George whiting and with everyone staying in the Point Atherton caravan park, you can probably smell their fillets cooking!

Our Lameroo potato farmers smashed their morning session bagging out easily, a great start to their holidays.

We hosted Rex's Adventures this weekend, it was a great weekend with heaps of fish, squid, non stop banter and laughs. I can't wait to see the footage on their YouTube channel, so make sure you check it out in the near future.
Todays charter was very successful, plenty of fish for our crew and today, like every day for a fortnight, my little pet shag lines up to be hand fed - he only likes King George whiting.
Put simply our crew experienced champagne fishing today, a boat limit of King George whiting before 9am, followed up with their squid limit at 10.15am, crazy quality fishing, Point Turton fishing at its best.
Its always a fun trip with Marty and Katie - Katie was well prepared with her T Shirt this time, pay special attention to the stick figures it sums up the vibe of the boat every trip.

Busy day today on our fishing charters, a bag limit of KG whiting, plus a mixture of sweep and red mullet, plus a boat limit of squid. Perfect weather conditions to allow us to showcase the Point Turton fishery. Matt was also pretty happy releasing a 50cm whiting whilst fishing for additional species.
Day two for our crew and it was Robert who was best on ground, fishing like a machine. Pretty tough when the skipper has to tell his crew slow down.
The whiting were big and hungry this morning, quality winter fishing today, best on ground was John's 45cm+ fish.

Our afternoon crew did extremely well also, smashing their boat limit of whiting before spending extra time catching snook. #spotonfishingtackle
The long weekend weather forecast looks fantastic and the fish are biting. We have available options for groups, so give us ring to take advantage of the start of the King George whiting season. Group bookings only to comply with social distancing restrictions.
Perfect weather conditions today for our crew's 2nd day of their weekend charter. They hit the jackpot on the first drop - a great whiting session before finishing off the morning accumulating their squid.
Windy conditions all day today but our crew were rewarded with their limit of King George whiting including some big horses on the early tide.
Classic May evening today, flat calm, picturesque sunset and our evening crew took advantage of some steady whiting activity.
Great news. We're reopening just in time for those amazing winter whiting. The SA Government is encouraging visitors to return to country regions so we feel that it is an appropriate time to reopen our fishing charters abiding by the strict social distancing and health restrictions. We are open to bookings but in this initial period, we've decided we will work with a maximum of 4 people. Group bookings only at this time.
Great news with the anoucement of the reopening of the May King George whiting closure. Positive news that the stock assessment is sustainable moving forward for the future. More action for our charter clients when restrictions finally ease.
Happy Easter to all our customers, friends and family. We both hope you are well and staying safe. We are looking forward to seeing you again as soon as we can but until then, enjoy today with your families. Kevin and Di
Always good looking back through photos. Same day last year tomorrow. Busy at the cleaning table.
Going forward we will be offering a new package for our non Fisher customers who visit Point Turton. Stay tuned!
A great reminder of what Point Turton will have waiting for you when all is well again. And, of course, our fishing charters will be here ready and rearing to go!
Wednesday flashback. Every Point Turton visitor's dream is to catch a classic Point Turton slug, if it's not 50cms, it's not big. We'll be back as soon as we can to get you out there in our beautiful part of the world. In the meantime, stay safe at home.
Just took the opportunity to randomly search through the photo album of recent groups. Heaps of fish and happy customers, perfect to get the blood running for the future. We can't wait to get back out there. Stay safe.
Thank you to all for your kind words and support for us. We will be back better than ever once this has passed. But until then, stay safe with your family and we will see you again very soon. Kevin and Di
After much consideration, we have made the very difficult decision to suspend our fishing charters due to COVID 19. The health and safety of the local community and our customers must come first in these extraordinary times.
During this time, however, we can still be contacted for forward bookings, so please don't hesitate to contact us on 0439 680 937.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support and we will be back better than ever once things settle down and we hope to have you back out fishing as soon as possible.
Stay safe all. Best wishes Kevin and Diana
