Fun fishing in Cairns
Great to be fishing in sheltered waters while still having a chance to catch some good fish. The skipper worked hard to ensure everyone had the best chance for a catch. I ended up with a good size Queenfish as well as a GT. A really good day and great value.

Great fishing experience
We had an amazing half-day fishing trip in Cairns! Bernd was fantastic, the boat was clean and comfortable, and we caught some great fish including cod, fingermark, and a queenfish. Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and we will definitely book again when we are back in Cairns! Thank you

Awesome!
We had a great morning with Dom. Saw some whales and caught some fish. The highlight was our son catching a huge queenfish!

Great Estuary Guide
Great day on the water in a great boat, excellent gear, with top notch guide. A quiet Saturday for bites at the mid/end of a dry spell for FNQ when bait fish numbers are low and prawns scarce, but we managed to pick up a few smaller targeted Fingermarks. The surprise however was the Barra and Queenfish that stole the days crown, making for a memorable day on the water. Thx Justin, your knowledge of the local waterways was invaluable to a great day out. ππ»

Highly Reccomend, Rory knows his stuffπ
We did a half day fishing with Rory from Cairns, He was very knowledgable, had a heap of tricks up his sleeve. Very tidy boat and good quality fishing gear. Rory put us onto a great topwater session on queenfish. Bonus points for spotting a couple of crocs on the way back to the ramp. Would definately reccomend.
