Be prepared for an early start for your fun on the water. The saying the early bird gets the worm, works for the North Coast as well. Its not uncommon to be heading out at daybreak for your 10 hour day. Normal days will take 45-60 minutes to get to the fishing grounds and even longer should you be after that once in a life time catch! We travel to where the fish are!
