With local guide Ian Moody at the helm, you'll hit all the productive fishing spots, and he'll do everything he can to help you have a successful day on the water.

The 18' custom craft Cairns fishing boat can cater to up to 4 guests. A light and nimble vessel, she'll take you cruising across the water at speed. Thanks to her wireless trolling motor, she's equally capable in the shallows and will help you quietly creep up on your prey. Using the latest rods and reels, you'll have the edge over your target fish, as you troll and bottom fish throughout your trip.

You'll start your trip by going after live bait, before heading to rich fishing grounds, which will give you a full angling experience. Hit the productive waters south of Townsville or north around Hinchinbrook Island. Along the shallow inshore waters and rivers

Some of Australia's most cherished fish call these waters home, so get ready to be amazed. You'll be wowed by the dazzling colours of Golden Trevally and Nannygai, while Barramundi, Threadfin Salmon, and Fingermark will make you work hard to earn their capture.

Everything you need for a productive day is waiting on board. Just bring your own food, drinks, and suncream along, and make the most of your time in these rich waters. Get in touch with your guide Ian if you would like to be picked up in the Townsville or Ayr region, and it's off you go! Come and discover these pristine inshore waters, full of monster fish, with Ian Moody Sportfishing.

Skipper and boat were great but fish and weather weren't obliging. Still enjoyed our trip on the water. Would highly recommend Ian Moody Sportsfishing!
