Deep sea fishing off Sydney
When you want the biggest, hardest-fighting fish, you head wide. Deep sea fishing charters take you out past the Heads to the offshore reefs, drop-offs and blue water where Sydney’s serious fish live. It is a genuine test of stamina and a brilliant day out, whether you are bottom-bouncing the deep reefs or chasing pelagics on the troll.
Wahoo Fishing Charters has fished this offshore country for more than 30 years, with modern boats kitted out with the latest sounders, GPS and gear to find the fish fast. All rods, reels, bait and tackle are included, so bring your crew, settle in and get ready for a full day of blue-water action.
The fish of the deep
Head wide off Sydney and you never quite know what will grab the bait. These are the heavy hitters we chase on a deep sea charter, from blue-water pelagics to prized fish holding deep on the reefs.
Two ways to fish the deep
A day wide off Sydney can go a few different ways, and we often mix it up to make the most of whatever is biting.
Bottom fishing the deep reefs
Drift or anchor over the offshore reefs and drop-offs and send baits down deep for snapper, morwong and other hard-pulling reef fish. It is steady, rewarding fishing that usually fills the esky with quality eating fish, and it suits anglers of every level.
Chasing the pelagics
When the blue water fires, we troll lures and skip live baits for tuna, marlin, mahi mahi and kingfish. This is the big-fish, adrenaline end of deep sea fishing, and the reason a lot of anglers head wide in the first place.
