Come aboard Ian Moody Sportfishing Charters, departing out of Ayr, and you’ll be able to experience this and more!

With local, experienced guide Ian Moody at the helm, and species such as Barramundi, Trevallies, and Snappers on offer, your trip is bound to be exciting and productive. Even better, Ian will happily customise your adventure depending on your skill level and what you want to target. If you’re looking to add some angling action to your family holiday, you’ll be thrilled to know that children age 7 and above are warmly welcomed.

You’ll be fishing from your captain’s 18’ Cairns Custom Craft fishing vessel, which is capable of holding up to 4 guests. She’s built to cruise a variety of waters, making her the perfect vessel for both the shallow waters around Ayr and traveling to the Great Barrier Reef.

On board, you’ll find top-quality navigational and safety gear, ensuring a secure and comfortable ride to your chosen fishing location. There’s room for a variety of top-notch rods and reels, which are included in your trip and will allow you to try out different techniques to hook your catch. There’s even a wireless trolling motor so you can sneak up on your target species in the shallows!

Depending on what’s biting and your personal preferences, you’ll get the chance to hook various prized species. This could include Nannygai, Giant Trevally, Snapper varieties, Barramundi, and Threadfin Salmon. If there’s anything in particular you’d like to target, just let your captain know.

As well as your rods and reels, your trip will also include lures, tackle, your fishing license, and the opportunity to catch your own live bait at the start of your adventure. Bottled water will be provided for you. Come join Ian Moody Sportfishing Charters for an incredible adventure!
