captain Jacob made for a fun trip in spite of the fish not biting

Our dkipper Jacob caught live bait which we used to catch a nice mixed bag. We caught about 10 different species. We weren’t equipped to clean and take our catch, so Jacob offered to clean it. When we discussed preparing the fish, he offered to take it to the Ochre restaurant where they would prepare it. He brought the fish there and made a reservation for us. The fish was fantastic and the presentation amazing. We definitely would recommend the fishing and the dining.

Jacob was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. After cast netting for our bait he took us up to a spot in the search for a Barramundi but was unsuccessfully, but a few undersized cod were landed. Next we dropped anchor in approx 21m of water and snapper, jewfish, lots of hairtails kept us busy. Last stop at inlet entry provided the catch of day a solid blue nose salmon at 75cm. A fabulous morning with a delightful skipper.

The day was great and well organised. Plenty of space on the boat and a chiller full of ice to keep drinks and food cold. Captain rotated between 3 fishing spots which were all great. We caught a 70cm Barra, and a few other fish. Great day and the captain made a great effort to keep the chat up and environment positive. Highly recommend for the price

We booked this half day trip as we wanted to go fishing but were only in Cairns for a few days with our partners. Jacob, the Captain was an excellent host and extremely knowledgeable about fishing. The equipment was good and the boat was comfortable and everyone on board had an excellent time. We caught five species during the trip and Jacob even tried to find a crocodile for us to take a look at. A great little fishing trip that I would recommend to novices and experienced Anglers alike!
