🎣🐟 Fresh from the Ocean to Your Plate 🥢🍋

We love seeing our guests enjoy the full "ocean to table" experience! Recently, a father and son chartered with us and reeled in some spectacular nannygai. After an unforgettable day on the water, they headed to Coco Chu restaurant on Hamilton Island, where the talented chefs turned their catch into a mouthwatering feast.

There's something magical about savouring the fruits of your own fishing adventure in such a stunning setting. 🌊✨

Did you know? When you fish with Topnotch Game Fishing, you can bring your catch to selected island restaurants and let their chefs work their culinary magic. It's the perfect way to round out your fishing experience with us!

📍 Tag your fishing buddy and plan your next adventure—where the fun doesn’t stop when you leave the boat!

Tight lines, Marlin Marlene

🌞🐟 Sunny Days, Big Catches, and Elf Chaos! 🐟🌞 It’s another spectacular day at Hamilton Island, & our guests have landed some monster nannygai! 🎣👏 But it looks like one of Santa’s naughty elves got a little too curious... and ended up as fish food again! 🐟😂

Will the elves ever learn? Stay tuned for more fishing adventures and festive fun aboard "Moonshine" and "The Pirate!" 🛥️✨

🎄🐟 Elf Warning: Mischief Levels Maximum! 🐟🎄 Looks like our naughty elf took “live bait” to a whole new level! 🎣😱 While trying to out-fish the guests, he became the main course for this hungry nannygai. 😂

Elf lesson learned: Stick to behaving... or risk being the catch of the day! 🎅🐟

Thank you to our guests for fishing with the Topnotch Team! Enjoy your fresh catch at the restaurants. Marlene
