Thanks Shaun, first drop a 107cm Black Jew fish and multiple other species.
Great professionalism and care you show to your guests is second to none.
I can't wait to donit again.
For anyone look for an amazing fishing trip OBJ is a must.
Had the best day out fishing caught some awsome fish.
Thanks so much can't wait for the next one!
The boat was great - very stable, clean and plenty of room for fishing or sitting. The bait was fresh and ample shade. We brought along our own fishing rods and fav plastics but note that the charter had top quality, well maintained fishing gear available.
Jess handled our bookings and was very patient when we had to move our dates several times and Shaun didn't hesitate to share his knowledge of this special place with us.
Had an absolute amazing time with these two great people. Their hospitality, local knowledge and going that extra km was very much appreciated. I can't fault this Charter and highly recommend it as a must do if in this beautiful part of the north.
Thank you so much OBJ. See you next year:)
Shaun looked after everyone on our all girls fishing charter, his knowledge, easy going nature and passion for fishing made everyone excited about the day.
Shaun worked hard to put us on the fish and shared some great tips and tricks to ensure all seven of us caught plenty of fish.
Everyone had a huge feed of Jewfish, Nannygai and Red Emperor, with the catch of the day being a 1.25m Jewfish!
A fantastic day fishing with the scenery of East Arnhem Land as the backdrop, it doesn’t get much better.
Regardless of your skill level or experience, I highly recommend OBJ, with their knowledge of the local waterways and fish species you are bound to learn a thing or two and come away with a great catch.
The weather was spot on, and after slow start it got crazy.
Shaun knows his stuff and all eskies were full before midday.
We had awesome day on the water and freezers full of fish.
I can’t recommend OBJ enough.
Brilliant.
Cheers from Darcy & Salil
Disappointing Although it was lovely to be out on the water, we were extremely disappointed in the actual charter. There were 7 people on the charter. We caught very small fish, nothing at all like the photos posted on the web page. Shaun was nice, friendly and very knowledgeable but when you pay a lot of money for a charter I want to be able to catch decent size fish. Other charters I have been on also record what fish you personally catch and then fillet them for you. This didn’t happen on this charter. We also talked to other people who went out on the same day with a different company and they caught some big fish. Overall very disappointed.
Disappointed friendly skipper. caught plenty of the same small fish. Disappointed to go only a km from shore. Was hoping for more action and to go a little further out . Thought it v expensive for what it was lovely to b out on water
We had the best time and were very fortunate to have the boat to ourselves with Shaun and Jess. Shaun knows all the great fishing spots and we managed to get some huge jewfish and red emperors. our boys aged 8 and 10 loved it.
We definitely recommend booking with OBJ for your fishing charter experience.
Shaun came up with the perfect solution that ticked all the boxes..
We fished for 4 hours and had lunch, a rest on the beach and a swim (Yes) at the Bremer Island resort.
The fishing was wonderful, bagging about 10-15 different species, and the cruise out and back from Bremer Island superb.
The kind weather and little wind made it very pleasant. We even took our fish back to Melbourne.
All in all a complete success.
I am happy to recommend Shaun's OBJ Adventures in Nhulunbuy.
All equipment and the boat were in good condition with no issues experienced.
Shaun also gave us a run down of the local mining situation as we drove past Rio Tinto’s operations as well as demonstrating and teaching us how to fillet the fish we caught.
The Aussie tunes were also a big hit!
Great fishing trip best skipper. We took a half day fishing trip and enjoyed it. Shaun is a great skipper and got us onto plenty of medium size fish. It was too windy to head out to far but he made the most of it and kept everything running smoothly. Recommended.
It was a little wet and stormy but the Skipper did a great job dodging the rain and when we didn't the fresh warm rainwater was very refreshing!
Highly recommend going out with a very professional and accommodating crew in Jess and Sean, thanks Guys!
The team also went above and beyond to help us out with some car trouble we had after the trip - just genuine, lovely people!!! Do yourself a favour and definitely add this to the top of your list when in the area!!
