    Gladstone Charters MV Night Crossing

    Hi Ausfishers
    I`m have been invited on a charter on the Gladstone based Night Crossing fishing Swains Reef but I can`t find much in the way of reports regarding the boat here on Ausfish.Has anyone had any experience with them lately that they could pass on.I realize that on trips like this its what you make of it but its good to get the heads up in advance.
    Cheers

    Hi Kerus
    Apart from their web site I haven`t found much feedback at all regarding the Night Crossing.

    A good mate has been going every year with this crew for 20 odd years to the swains, they are a group of medicos who aren't short of a buck and love their fishing. I was invited a few years back and thought they were pretty bloody good. The food, equipment and locations all worked well on my experience.

    Gave that a try, Shane, - no joy. Thanks for the suggestion, though.Perhaps some Ausfishers who have been to Swains within the last six months or so might let us know their most productive reefs.
    Did anyone burley from the dories? How successful was it? kercus

    i worked for tackle world gladstone for the last two years and got to know alot of their customers as well as many of the others in the fleet. many crews have been using the boat for 10 + years and i cant say i heard any real negative feedback. they can certainly find the fish and it is a comfortable boat.

    Thumbs up Re: Gladstone Charters MV Night Crossing

    Recently returned from Swain's trip on Night Crossing. I must thank billyjack for info re this boat before trip.
    I cannot recommend this boat highly enough. The vessel itself is modern and purpose built.
    The accommodation fulfills every requirement, the crew is very proficient and hard-working,
    the meals are top class and huge ( too big for me ),the dories are excellent and the skipper is very competent. In general everything is superbly designed and organized.
    Our group were very happy with the trip and we returned with a very good catch.
    Cheers,
    kercus

    P.S. I have nothing to do with the ownership or running of this boat.
