Port Stephens is where Captain Bill first became acquainted with the art of Game Fishing as a child and still to this day has never missed the NSW interclub tournament, the largest Gamefishing tournament in the southern hemispere with over two hundred boats.

It would be hard to find someone who has spent as much time game fishing off this port, and only a few people have participated in as many interclub tournaments as Bill. He has stood on the winners podium more times than he can remember as crewmen. and no one could say that they have won the tournament 4 times as captain both in Capture and tag and release.

Three of the Billfish species, Black, Blue and Striped Marlin migrate there each year. It is not uncommon to catch all three species in a day's fishing, known as a grand slam, and this has been achieved many times on bills boats. Blue Marlin up to 600lbs are not uncommon with very large specimens presenting themselves occasionally. The recent years there have been over 15 world records for black, blue and striped marlin, caught in these waters using not only conventional tackle but also Ultra-Light tackle and Fly Fishing tackle. 4 of these world records were caught in the 2000 season on 2lb, 4lb and 6lb, an outstanding feat.

"More experience means greater results!"

All aboard the magnificent custom built 46ft Viking 11 with Captain Billy Billson and his crew, the most successful and experienced operation in Cairns, Gold Coast and Port Stephens.
