Fish Tales – Don't Know
Fish Tales – Don't Know
If you're ready to love fishing in Cairns, we've got you covered with Fish Tales – Don't Know. Your guide for the day is Captain Darryl, allowing you to benefit from years of professional experience.
These waters are known for Nannygai, Coral Trout, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!' We can do reef fishing or river fishing, you choose!
You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Darryl will bring you aboard a 20' Center console with space for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Capt. Darryl will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks available on board.
Terms & Conditions Apply. See our website for details. Check your email when completed.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Fish Tales – Don't Know!

Hi Peter, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Yes the forecast for the wind speed over 15 knots for the day. The wind actually got up to 21 knots during the day-very uncomfortable. Until next time...Dazza and Raewyn Your hosts of Fish Tales Charters
Couldn't have asked for a better trip! Darryl is an expert and a great bloke. Bought this trip for my boyfriend for his 30th happy just for the experience but Darryl was keen on getting us a few big catches. Came back with 6 big fish at the end of the day - quite a few more than the blokes a couple of spots down on the pier. Captain was very patient and gave great instructions (I'd never been fishing at sea before). We moved on when nothing was biting (or when the sharks were) and Darryl knew all the spots. Excellent feed and plenty of water provided. I'd highly recommend this trip and will definitely book again when friends and family are in town.
Hi Aaron and Emily. Thanks guys, enjoyed your company, too. Happy you where able to take home some reds, topped off a great day. Appreciate your time to write a review to reflect your day. Many thanks Darryl and Raewyn at fish tales charters .

Your captain
Captain Darryl grew up in Adelaide fishing with his brother from a very young age. 20 years later, he arrived in Cairns, and every possible moment became all about fishing and exploring. Captain Darryl became the owner-operator of Fish Tales Charters over 20 years ago, and after a decade of successful guiding decided to build the Don't Know to offer a variety of fishing charters due to the high number of repeat customers.
