Fishing
Experiences
Deep-sea jigging at 160–400 m is our signature adventure — supported by light and electric jigging, with micro jigging and popping on request for every angler's skill level and style.
Heavy Jigging
Our signature adventure. Heavy jigging targets powerful predators holding on deep offshore structures and seamounts. Expect intense battles, heavy tackle, and the chance to hook trophy-class species.
Light Jigging
The perfect balance between sport and comfort. Light jigging offers fast-paced action with lighter tackle while still providing opportunities to catch quality reef and pelagic species.
Electric Deep Jigging
Electric-assisted jigging on selected deep grounds — the easiest and most productive way to land big fish with minimal effort. Ideal for first-timers who still want a shot at serious deep-water species.
Micro Jigging
A highly enjoyable and technical style using ultralight tackle, for anglers who love to play micro jigging. Frequent bites and exciting fights from surprisingly strong fish. Let us know when you book.
Popping
Casting poppers and stickbaits to reef edges and feeding schools for heart-stopping surface strikes. Available on request — tell us when you book so the crew can plan the grounds.
