Fish Tales Charters offers exciting estuary fishing adventures in the beautiful Trinity Inlet in Cairns, Australia. Skipper Darryl Wilson has been fishing the local waters for over 20 years, so he’ll help you make the most of your day in these prolific waters!

You will fish aboard Vessel River Rocket – a 20’ boat locally designed for the estuaries and river systems in Cairns. Powered by a 115 HP Mercury Outboard, it's fast and reliable when getting to the desired fishing areas. Fitted with the latest electronics, it will easily reveal what lies beneath the waterline.
The area is famous for the open waters, creeks, and the deep channel of the Cairns Estuary System. These waterways are an important part of the breeding cycle of juvenile fish and offer exceptional fishing for adult species.

Your targeted species will include, but not limited to, Javelinfish, Blue & King Threadfin, Queenfish, Trevally species including Golden and Giant, Mangrove Jack, Estuary Cod including Gold spotted & Black spotted, Bream, Flathead, Hairtail, Tarpon, and the prized catch Barramundi, to name a few!

Fishing Guide Darryl will supply all bait – live and dead, as well as tackle, top-quality rods, and Penn reels. On board are bottles of water, and the skipper will happily give advice on how to catch your target fish. Please bring along sunnies, a hat, a camera, and a few beers if you’re up for it.

Join Fish Tales Charters and explore these beautiful waters on the River Rocket, making some unforgettable memories!
And lastly, just come along and have fun! Your hosts, Darryl & Raewyn
