Airlie Beach Fishing Adventures 

my 2 brothers and I took our old man out for his birthday, we had 2 request fill the esky and fish till we drop! boy did captain jim deliver! we were on good sized good eating fish all day! he made it easy for us by baiting our lines and giving great tips on targeting the local species, special mention jim’s wife packed some bithday cupcakes for dad, that was a lovely personal touch. thanks jim!

When booking the trip for my partners birthday I mentioned that I wanted to get the birthday boy onto a big fish, and Jim made it happen! He was so stoked! Would highly recommend 🎣

Caught lots of fish, was a nice touch with the offer of morning tea but we didn't even have time to eat any because we were flat out catching fish. Host was a nice bloke who had a lot of good recs for the local area. He even filleted the fish for us at the end to take home. Well worth the money for the morning.

Capt Jim did a great job ensuring we caught QUALITY fish today ...and he didn't disappoint! He knew where to go for the best fish. My son and I catch the biggest Jewies ever! Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend and will be returning!! Thanks Jim!😊👍

3 generations went on this trip and everyone agreed ‘best time ever’ waa first time the young boys had been out fishing on a boat and the trip has totally fueled their fishing passion! Jim and crew were very helpful, everyone caught fish and came home very excited to enjoy their catch for dinner. Thoroughly recommend!

Jim was a champion had us right onto the fish and caught at least 4kg of reef fillets in 4 hours. special catch was a 65cm Tusk fish. Jim filleted everything which made it a clean get away. Recommended morning fishing experience from Airlie Beach.

We were very happy with our fishing trip. We caught heaps of fish. Jim the captain was friendly, knowledgeable and well prepared for us. Well worth your time and money. The Paynes and shearers.

absolutely fantastic day with Capt Jim Cole. He has great knowledge, knows the waters, and will put you on fish. We caught 10 different species! I highly recommend Capt Jim Cole!

Communication with Jim was super easy. He was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and also helpful, patient and kind to myself and parents who were fishing for the first time. We caught some amazing variety of fish both large and small and were given recommendations on how to cook it. He also filleted and bagged everything up for us. The whole charter was smooth sailing start to finish. Overall just had an awesome day, catch and feed. Will defs book Jim and his charter tour again next time. Thanks for having us!

We were a party of 4 from the uk and booked a half day trip. Jim was very knowledgeable and friendly. Put us on the fish straight away and we came away with 13 keepers, 4 different species, 3 in Jim’s top 5! Jim expertly filleted our catch and recommended we take them to the Anchor Inn. They prepared an absolutely amazing meal for us within 40 minutes of arrival, cooking the fish 3 different ways. It was the perfect end to the trip. Fish from sea to table in under 5hrs.
