Anyone been out on Reality big cat charters ?
Looking to do a trip mid next year with a few keen people .

Great operation and recommended but know that most fishing will be from self drive boats (2 on board) and you will be left to your own resources. Little/no help from the crew or fellow anglers on who/how to fish. Mostly top water there - don't take cheap lures, GT's definitely bite on big expensive stickbaits. Jigging for Doggies is only good in evening/night just behind the anchored Big Cat. Shallow water there, only 30-40m so don't need heavy jigs unless you want to jig the drop offs (100-130m) for bottom species. Take SOAP and SHAMPOO!!! The Big Cat is not a hotel, you have to bring your own. Choose good dates, you don't want bad moon phases for GT fishing. Good luck! |
