Deep Sea Fishing in Western Australia's Coral Coast
You have a few different fishing tours to choose from with Top Gun charters, depending on the time of year that you want to go.
April goes to the Abrolhos Islands on a 5 day charter
May to August sees you head out from Carnarvon for 5 days
September to November takes you to the Monte Bello Islands on a 6 day charter
Decmeber to March are day trips from Perth to Rottnest Island
We went out with Top Gun Charters on their 5 day live aboard fishing adventure from Carnarvon to the Bernier Islands.
Their Top Gun II fishing vessel is custom built for comfort and space. You have a comfortable berth either inside the boat or out on the deck (undercover of course).
It is a 3 hour trip out there but the lines are in the water trolling along the way so no time is wasted. And as the fish bit, the excitement kicks in.
Our skipper Aldo is very experienced and is always ensuring that we are in the right spot for the fish. Having the time available allows everyone to be able to take it easy without having to feel they have to be catching fish the whole time.
We take the tender to check out the now deserted island, swim with manta rays, catch some crays, and drink beer. Everyone one the boat bonds really well and storys are shared - especially the story of 'the massive one that got away'.
At the end of the 5 days new friends are made and sufficient fish are caught for everyone to take home about 15kg of fish each. They even snap freeze them and pack them for you to make it easy to get home.

All Athletes Should Float
RECOVERY TIME FRAME
When the athlete is in the flotation tank, the actual rate of recovery post physical exercise is enhanced beyond recognition. Since floating in water that has high concentrations of Epsom salt reduces the stresses of gravity, the weight and pressure is taken off strained muscles, joints and bones. This increases the efficiency of the blood circulation right through the body. It also significantly improves the recovery time after injury.
The body has amazing pathways set up, to alarm it of pain or injury, hot or cold etc. When the brain receives these signals, it can then react and adapt accordingly. However this mechanism is not just designed to cope with injury. All positive signals of relief experienced whilst floating also go into the brain, producing a very profound, complete state of relaxation that is not to be dismissed.
SPORTS PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
Athletes that use this float therapy in combination with visualisation techniques experience a very significant improvement in their performances. As the person’s brain transitions into a theta state, it becomes much more open to suggestion. The CNS (central nervous system) can essentially be effectively trained to produce ‘perfect performance’. Today a number of top athletes across Australia and the U.S use this technique to relax and up their performance in their chosen sport.
WORKING AGAINST GRAVITY
While floating, gravity pressures gets taken-off the muscles and joints & the entire body is put in to a state of high physical relaxation. The blood pressure & oxygen intake reduces but the blood flow and distribution of red blood cells increases. These combined effects are especially beneficial to athletes, as it speeds the recovery from injury & assists in flushing-out cortisol, lactate & adrenaline that might have built-up either via training or performance.
REDUCES INJURY RISK
Float Therapy loosens the muscles & gives athletes a higher degree of control in their nervous systems. In effect, this reduces injury risk during training/competition. Floatation accelerates the athlete’s recovery process and releases large quantities of endorphins (natural painkiller of the body).
By being in an environment that facilitates sensory isolation, which is another component of floatation, the athlete truly has the space to reach the level of concentration required to have a tangible effect on his/her performance. Many modern training methods are focused on helping athletes master their “inner game.” This assists in developing perfect synchronicity between body, mind and emotion and where better to find yourself then in a setting that is designed to help you lose yourself?
Athletes that use this float therapy in combination with visualization techniques experience a very significant improvement in their performances. Floatation is also used by many people in helping them identify areas of tension that they were not previously aware of. Many people report being able to have a heightened sense of a certain body part whilst floating. This sense helps draw awareness to an area that may require additional attention in the form of stretching, massage or treatment.
Float Milwaukee BJJ Tournament Super Fight
On November 18th - 2017, novagyms.com helped sponsor the Marquette University BJJ tournament.
This is one of the super fights for a 1-hour float session at Float Milwaukee.

Floating has a ton of benefits for BJJ athletes, just ask Joe Rogan you preaches the benefits of his sessions....
Per below ref:
THE BENEFITS OF USING A FLOAT TANK IN SPORT
As a matter of fact the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) sees flotation tank use as integral to the training regimes that their athletes’ follow. Some benefits of using floatation therapy are:
Accelerates the recovery from injury
Increases energy (ATP)
Ideal space for visualisation and mind setting.
Boosts the immune system
Reduces Lactic acid levels in the body
Aids in facilitated rest, improving athletes exposure to fatigue.
Facilitates the reduction of muscle soreness (DOMS)
Gravity isn’t a factor in the float tank. The complete relaxation that it provides, gives all the muscles the much-needed break they need. When the person is in the tank, every single muscle in the body gets the rest it needs and the time to recover. The benefits are truly impressive!
Furthermore epsom salts are a magnesium and sulphate – a muscle relaxant and a protein builder for your joints. Not only can you truly decompress in the float tank, you absorb the minerals whilst you float directly into your muscles, allowing you to be noticeably less tense as soon as you get up!
