Operated by Black Jack Charters · Bandy Creek, Western Australia
On the edge of Esperance’s harbor, at the west side of Bandy Creek Boat Harbour, The Ultimate Full Day Fishing Expedition launches into some of Western Australia’s clearest and most productive offshore waters. Operated by Black Jack Charters aboard “Jaws,” a 40‑foot Seaquest aluminum fishing vessel, this nine‑hour trip puts anglers in range of deep reef lines, kelp‑fringed grounds, and the outer drops that attract large sport fish. Expect a day that moves from calm bays to open ocean, with the horizon punctuated by granite islands that belong to the nearby Recherche Archipelago. Those granite outcrops, scoured by waves and sun, create reef networks and gutters where snapper, dhufish, and kingfish concentrate; pelagic species such as tuna and Samson fish patrol the blue further offshore. Sea conditions vary with the Southern Ocean swell, but Jaws’ stability and Ginge’s local knowledge—he’s been guiding here for over 15 years—mean more time fishing and less time guessing where the fish are holding. The trip is set up for anglers of every level. With a maximum party of nine, there’s room to spread out, set multiple lines, and rotate casting positions. Gear and bait handling can be demonstrated by the skipper, and the boat’s deck layout supports both reef and sportfishing techniques. Between troll runs and anchored reef drops, you’ll watch the coastline slip past: white sand beaches, low headlands, and the occasional sea bird working schools of baitfish. Logistics are straightforward—meet at Daw Road’s end at the Bandy Creek Boat Harbour west ramp and arrive a little early for a quick briefing. Expect a full day: plan for sun protection, layered clothing for wind and spray, and a hearty packed lunch if you prefer your own food. Black Jack Charters runs these full-day trips to reach prime offshore marks that shorter charters can’t access, giving you a better shot at larger, harder-fighting fish and variety in species. For anglers who prize space, local expertise, and extended opportunity, this charter stands out in the Esperance lineup. It’s not just a morning trip; it’s a committed day on the water that rewards patience with quality strikes, long drifting runs, and close views of the rugged southern coastline. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or learning to read coastal structure, The Ultimate Full Day Fishing Expedition turns Esperance’s offshore terrain into a focused angling playground. Skipper Ginge is hands-on: he helps with rigging, shows bottom structure on the sounder, and adapts the plan as conditions and bites change, which is why anglers return. Bookings follow a 48‑hour cancellation window; confirm check-in details when reserving. Whether you’re after a trophy reef fish or your first offshore experience, this full‑day charter maximizes open‑water time and local know‑how daily.
