    January fishing trip

    Full Day Trip – Cairns on January 7, 2025 • 3 adults

    Josh was an absolute legend who knew the ins and outs of the Daintree, we caught Barra, jacks, cod and finger mark. Was an unreal experience definitely keen to get back to North Queensland to fish with him again. I totally recommend going with Tropic Barra Fishing Adventures if you are wanting to experience fishing in North Queensland.

G'day guys, Captain Quaazie here. I'm a passionate fisherman, loving everything from dry fly fishing for Brown Trout to chasing giant Black Marlin. But Barramundi are by far my favorite—hard-hitting, tight-structure, lure-destroying machines! Join the fun and jump on a charter for a ripping time today.

  • A large fish, likely a Snook, displayed on a measuring board at a dock, showcasing its size after a successful fishing trip.
