The crew at Blue Lightning are absolutely exceptional they simply cant do enough for you. Running an operation in such a remote location is tough but these guys do it with ease making the whole experience second to none. The fishing is amazing, the free diving is unbelievable and the islands are spectacular. Can't recommend them enough!

Just finished my 7th trip with Blue Lighting Charters. Chad ,Leah and the crew couldn't have done any more for us fantastic. Was even lucky enough to be part of a 7way hookup on Sail fish that brought the tally for the season over 200 a must do trip. Thanks Blue lighting

Second trip to the Monte's, wow Chad, Leah and the team have perfected the balance between fishing and relaxing in this utterly spectacular part of Australia. From catching sail fish, to giant spanish mackerel, red emporers, crays to giant trevally everyday was simply a treat to be part of. The professionalism of Blue Lightning Charters and the attention to detail will have us back next year I am sure.Tight lines and thanks again.

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.
