Sorry for the delay in updating our fishing trips and reports – we have been posting to our facebook page more and more and have not made the time to update the web site here as often as we should 😄

I was supposed to spend my birthday back in March out at Lady Elliot island but due to a low pressure system we moved it to August – and we are so glad we did as we got to experience beautiful lady Elliot island for 3 nights with great weather and now understand why everyone who has been there rate it as one of the most stunning coral cays you can visit !

While you can do day trips to Lady Elliot Island – I think you really need to spend a few night out there to really appreciate how special it is – 3 nights was great & we could have easily spent a couple more 😉 #ladyelliotisland
