Running angling trips out of Cairns, All Tackle Sportfishing invites you to check out the local freshwater fishery in style. Immerse yourself in wildlife, with guaranteed top-notch fishing and the added bonus of potentially seeing some crocodiles!
Come aboard with Skipper Justin Gibbins, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Threadfin Salmon, Grunter, Trevally, Bream, Queenfish, and Fingermark, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.
Your boat for the day will be a 20’ Cairns Custom Craft that fits up to 4 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with an ice box to keep your catch fresh, which is handy as you’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.
All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can. The boat will also be supplied with snacks and drinks for your pleasure, but feel free to bring your own. Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.
Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure. Don’t forget to bring your sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and camera – and you’re more than welcome to bring a couple of beers along, however, the crew emphasizes drinking responsibly.
