Tropical Sportfisher – 16' BarraTracker
Tropical Sportfisher – 16' BarraTracker
Locally owned and operated, Tropical Sportfisher is a premium guided sportfishing operation based in Cairns, Far North Queensland. Our experienced team of guides, including Rory, Aaron, and Oscar, specialise in private lure and fly-fishing charters throughout Cairns, Port Douglas, and Mission Beach.
Our Barra Tracker charter is purpose-built for exploring Cairns' tropical rivers, estuaries, and mangrove-lined creeks. Working with the conditions on the day, we target Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Giant Trevally, Queenfish, Fingermark, and other exciting tropical sportfish using artificial lures and fly tackle.
We enjoy a visual style of fishing whenever conditions allow, with surface lures and topwater presentations producing some of the most memorable strikes of the day. Our boats are also equipped with the latest Humminbird Live Sonar technology, helping us locate fish and refine presentations when targeting Barramundi and other structure-oriented species.
The Barra Tracker's shallow draft allows us to quietly access areas larger boats simply can't reach, from narrow mangrove creeks to expansive estuary systems. Every trip is tailored to the tides, weather, and your experience level, giving us the flexibility to fish where conditions are most favourable on the day.
You'll fish aboard our 16-foot Barra Tracker, equipped with premium Humminbird electronics, a Minn Kota trolling motor, Live Sonar, and quality safety equipment.
Every charter is completely private, allowing your guide to tailor the day to your fishing style and goals. We specialise exclusively in lure and fly fishing, offering a hands-on sportfishing experience for anglers of all abilities.
Your trip includes premium Shimano tackle, fly-fishing equipment on request, quality lures, lunch, snacks, cold drinks, and complimentary Cairns CBD hotel pick-up and drop-off.
Simply bring sun protection, polarised sunglasses, and a sense of adventure; we'll take care of the rest.

I've been fishing in North Queensland for over 30 years. I grew up fishing for Jungle Perch and Sooty Grunter along the banks of the Mulgrave River, which eventually developed into an obsession with Barramundi fishing. I then moved on to targeting big Barramundi, which became my passion and way of life for many years. These days, other guides follow me around trying to find my Barramundi spots! I started guiding to spend more time fishing and work in an industry I love. I've guided throughout Australia's Top End for sportfishing lodges and multiple luxury mothership operations. I'm very fortunate to have grown up in the Far North Queensland region, with access to so many different sportfishing opportunities and the remote backcountry right on my doorstep.
