One of our top picks in Cairns. Fish Tales Charters offers exciting estuary fishing adventures in the beautiful Trinity Inlet located in Cairns, Australia. The area is famous for the open waters, creeks and the deep channel of the Cairns Estuary System. These waterways are an extremely important part of the breeding cycle of juvenile fish and offer exceptional fishing for adult species.
Your targeted estuary species will include Grunter (Javelin Fish), Fingermark, Blue Salmon, Queenfish (Queenies), Giant Trevally, Threadfin, Mangrove Jack, Gold Spot Estuary Cod, Bream, Golden Trevally, Flathead, Hairtail, Tarpon and the prize catch Barramundi.
You will fish aboard the River Rocket, which is a 5.8 meter purposely designed and built boat, for the estuaries and rivers systems in Cairns. It is powered by a 2015 140 HP Suzuki-4 stroke outboard motor that makes is fast and reliable when getting to the desired fishing destination and moving between productive spots. Fitted with the latest colour sounder and GPS, it will easily reveal what lies beneath the water line.
The charter is operated by Skipper Darryl who was been fishing the local waters for over 20 years.He will supply all bait - live and dead- and tackle, top quality rods and PENN reels (or you may like to bring your own), bottles of water, and will happily give advice on how to catch your target fish. Please bring along sunnies, a hat, a camera, and a few beers are OK.

Too bad I didn’t catch any fish. Daryl tried everything but that was not his fault. It was still a nice morning on the water.

Hi there Barry, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Online bookings are very convenient for both users and operators. However, a little research from anyone wishing to take a fishing charter can shed some light of how the fishing has been? Target species? etc.
On all our fishing charters simple things like expected weather for your charter, expected tidal movement, expected bait to catch and expected fish target species are all spoken about at the beginning; along with any question and answers you may have.
If you remember as motoring out the marina Darryl spoke to everyone on board QUOTE `it is going to be extremely difficult fishing this afternoon, it is really windy, there is no tidal movement, probably going to take a while to get the right bait. The water temperature has dropped a few degrees and we are going from our summer species to our winter species. We are going to try our best!` UNQUOTE.
We welcome anyone to phone/text/email us at any time to chat about taking a fishing charter before they decide. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Alternatively chat to the online booking company first, they in turn to talk to us to find out the
information to pass on; they like us wish for guests to partake in the right charter for you.
Kind Regards
Darryl and Raewyn
