Shoplifting aside, one of the best ways to lower exorbitant grocery bills is to scrounge for leftovers from dumpsters. As that’s prohibitively disgusting, the next best way is to catch and/or grow your own.

And if there’s one thing better than some fresh tasty fish fillets, battered and deep-fried, it has to be the knowledge that you caught it yourself: you, man, beast, a fight for survival and a post-tale of delicious tartare sauce.

And if you’d like to lower your grocery bill and save even more money doing it, look no further than today’s rather un-fishy Cudo offering. It’s a half-day fishing trips and all from Apollo Bay Fishing & Adventure Tours in, you guessed it, Apollo Bay down on the Great Ocean Road. (Please check T&Cs for blockout times.)

And today you get to play ‘man versus (aquatic) beast’ with a half-day open-water fishing adventure for just $55 per person. Don’t pay the typical $110 and you decide if you want AM or PM (best to go when they’re biting, however.) The trip’s ideal for any fisherman of any experience and includes all the gear you’ll need – rod, bait, safety gear and tackle. Plus, all the expert advice and knowledge of Apollo Bay’s pros. 

You’ll take in the spectacular views of the Otway Ranges and the beauty of Bass Strait and the southern ocean. The offer’s available seven days and is perfect for family or social groups (ages 6+). Fish for snapper, flathead, gummy shark, squid and assortment of reef fish. The offer also comes with 10% off your next tour too!

So if you want to feel the wind in your hair, the struggle of man versus nature, a slight feeling of seasickness even, don’t watch Parliament Question time, go fishing instead with the pros from Apollo Bay Fishing & Adventure Tours. You’re saving 50% on an awesome half-day open-water fishign adventure and, if all goes to plan, gorging on a fish feast too when the boat returns to the jetty. BYO tartare.
