Thursday 6th July 2017 Reef Fishing

Thanks so much to Laura and Michael for having the best day in Cairns. So good to meet you and to show you around. Target species Trout, Mackerel; caught and kept for dinner included Coral Trout & Spanish Mackerel-two of the best sportsfish with excellent eating qualities.

Only takes one Spanish Mackerel for Dave while reef fishing from Cairns. Guess the weight?

Reef Fishing from Cairns, in Far North Queensland with fishing guide Darryl. Over the winter months in the tropics some years mother nature is kind too us with only a few days of South Easterly. This year we have been blasted with them; this lessen our day we can operate a reef fishing charter. However, we keenly watched the weather forecasts regularly and organise a number of charters. We eagerly waited until September for good size Spanish Mackerel to appear and on a few occasions where not disappointed. On one charter managed to catch and release a Rainbow Runner (normally seen in PNG waters). Most days where hard work and with a lot of hunting to find; all charters came back with a good selection of Large Mouth Nannygai and Coral Trout to name a few.
