Great Experience
5/5
My recent fishing trip in Cairns was fantastic, largely thanks to the captain's exceptional experience. Not only did they navigate us to productive spots, but I also genuinely learned valuable new techniques and insights about fishing, making it a truly rewarding and educational experience on the water.

Jacob knows the area really well… Not just the fishing spots, but the croc sites, the local birdlife and animals, other boats, Cairns life and stories. A great half-day out for us.

From bait to restaurant
5/5
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.

June fishing trip
5/5
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.
