Chad and the team still amaze me at how well they can constantly put us on quality fish. Everything from jigging for reef species, including coronation trout and Robertson Sea Perch, to trolling and casting for large Spanish mackerel, even skipbaiting for sailfis, at one stage the crew I went with managed a 7 way hookup and landing 5 out of the 7 of these beautiful, acrobatic and extremely fast fish. We ended up catching 21 sailfish for the afternoon and having many more missed fish. On top of all this there is still the ever present chance of hooking and hopefully landing one of the very large Giant Trevally a real fish of a lifetime... What more can you ask for. This was my 2nd time with Blue Lightning Charters, and I still most certainly be back for a 3rd time.

Got back yesterday from another magnificent trip to the Montebello Islands. Thank you to Chad, Leah and the Blue Lightning crew for the great fishing, laughs and happy times. The memories of catching a sailfish against the backdrop and orange glow of an Indian Ocean sunset will live with me forever. Edward is very jealous!
