Day Charters

Fishing the islands, headlands, harbour entrance leads, sand & mud flats, estuary channels and the numerous submerged wrecks, structures and closer reefs offer spectacular light tackle sport fishing. Seasonal conditions play a part with these exclusive charters and targets include the famous salt water barramundi from the rocks, mackerel and trevally from the leads and wrecks as well as prime GT's, fingermark, black jew, salmon and queenfish.

• Reef Runner: You don't have to go too far to get a good day out. At the entrance to Cairns Harbour, the islands, headlands, harbour entrance leads, and the numerous submerged wrecks, structures and closer reefs offer spectacular light tackle sport fishing. I had a day out with these guys - read all about it.

• Eco Sportfishing: The Rocky Headlands, near inshore islands, northern beaches of Cairns, as well as some rarely fished estuary's and shallow "blue water" wrecks offer unique opportunities for the avid sport fisher. Whether lure / plug casting to structure, salt water fly fishing, or trolling for the many pelagic species is your go.

  

• Blackout Sportfishing: Fishing charter guide Kerry Bailey has worked in the industry for many years and has built up an extensive knowledge base on the local inshore blue water scene, offshore reefs and "secret" wreck sites as well as the many tropical rivers within the Cairns region.
