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.

Justin has his finger right on the pulse of the local fishery! From his first net cast for 100+ live prawns , to his precise anchoring to get our baits right over the several wrecks he regularly fishes. He was in contact with other captains, who had a fish or two, but we clearly had the best day with 10 fish, and four species. With the highlight being a couple of Barramundi, one landed and one leaping to an early exit! Justin is the captain you want to fish with!!
Great day on the water in a great boat, excellent gear, with top notch guide. A quiet Saturday for bites at the mid/end of a dry spell for FNQ when bait fish numbers are low and prawns scarce, but we managed to pick up a few smaller targeted Fingermarks. The surprise however was the Barra and Queenfish that stole the days crown, making for a memorable day on the water. Thx Justin, your knowledge of the local waterways was invaluable to a great day out. 😉🍻
Thanks Mick it was a pleasure to meet you guys and take you fishing. Take care mate!
Justin called ahead of the trip to say that fishing was slow. We agreed to shorten our booking to half a day. Justin was very professional and was a great host. Each of our party of three caught small fish. It was a pleasant half day on the water. Justin was a great conversationalist.
Captain Justin, at all times was professional and accommodating of all my fishing needs. So much so, I landed some of the best estuary gamefish of my fishing career. All in the near reaches of the Cairns estuary river system. He made it so easy for me to land the big one. I only wish I could carry CJ in my back pocket every time I go fishing.
Thanks mate it was a pleasure

Your captain
Skipper Justin started guiding full-time in 1990 due to his obsession with fishing. This hasn't subsided in the slightest. If anything, he could best describe it as a condition. The skipper can honestly say he has spent more hours and years guiding and fishing the local estuary and rivers than most people have. Nothing compares to local knowledge.
