Capt. Clinton runs trips out of Tewantin aboard a 36' Catamaran. These waters are known for Red Emperor Snapper and Pearl Perch and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're spinning, popping, or trolling. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Best half day fishing cruise I have been on

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We were pushed for time so could only take a 5 hour trip. It was outstanding!. Clinton and Seb made everything easy, especially for some first timers on the boat. Clinton was excellent at finding the right fishing spots. Everyone caught something, some very excited young boys on board. Great variety of fish. Fabulous value for money.

    Reported catch:
    Red Emperor Snapper

    Love it

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    The captain and crew were very capable, making sure we got to catch fish and assissted us when we needed it. Lobed my experience so much I have booked a follow up trip for the next day and a longer trip to see if it measures up to the half day trip. Definitely recommend this company, they are fantastic.

    Reported catch:
    Coral Trout
    Pearl Perch
    Red Emperor Snapper

Apr 18, 2026 • Tewantin
Weekly roundup Tuna mayhem offshore in the last week, with an epic weather window helping a lot of people get amongst it. Huge numbers of longtail being caught out the front, with large numbers being caught along the Teewah stretch, up to DI. Also, a good week on the Spanish Mackerel, with large numbers at Sunshine wide, North Reef and Coffees. Must be quick, though, the sharks are also around in huge numbers! Reefies have also been getting pulled up in strong numbers, with Goldband, Snapper, Pearlies, and trout being major players. Sunshine, North reef, and Coffees producing good numbers of reef fish. In the river, fishing has been excellent in the lower reaches still, after all the rain we had in recent times. Trevally, Queenfish, Flathead, Mangrove Jacks and whiting, all showing up in good numbers recently. The upper reaches have been fishing well, also. As seen in the photos, Daniel, his son Leo, and Lenex got onto the flathead up near Lake Cooroibah, even got Leo a solid Shovel Nose! Scott and Oli also pulling a Lizard from the Tewantin stretch. Thanks to **hidden content** for keeping us in the loop with what’s biting where. These guys have been fishing these waters for decades, and know them better than anyone, so if you’re planning on heading out, get in touch with them. #tackleworldnoosa **hidden content**
