Hi Richard I’m sorry you felt this way .I do try to tell you what I’m doing ,and targeting ,and how I go about catching and targeting different species ,and also try to keep everybody interested .by including them in what im doing .As for the not being ready for the morning session ,all the rods were rigged and ready I was in the water 55 minutes earlier ,over at the creek adjacent the ramp, catching live baits for your trip ,this normally happens in the 4hrs trip however I knew it was going to be difficult to catch livies on the neap tides so I went early,  in which I got a few for you guys to be able to target barramundi straight away . I was exactly 4minutes early by my electronics time to pick you guys up , we then had our safety speech on the vessel which once again is in the 4hrs trip ,then we were away fishing. The only thing I did do before you guys stepped onto the vessel was wiped over the esky seat and combing from any debris from throwing the cast net otherwise the boat was tidy and very ready to except patrons .  We targeted barramundi we caught barramundi and a nice 825mm barramundi, so as far as I’m concerned we accomplished what we set out to do .I might also add I remained fishing for an extended 1/2 hr later than the 4hr session .you guys all jumped off shook my hand and seemed happy .and seemed pretty darn happy holding up the Barra .Sometimes as a guide, it’s very hard to try catch fish and live baits ,on any tide that the charter falls on ,your charter was also very challenging as you gave me neap tides to work with ,this normally is extremely hard in the estuary to fish on neap tides to catch bait and fish ,once again we got a nice barramundi so I was stoked for you guys and the guy that caught it was over the moon .we did also manage to get a few other small bycatch ,also that kept everybody interested so I’m a little surprised at your review however I do value your review and will take on board enjoy the rest of your break cheers Gavin cairns sportfishing

Hi Tony I’m sorry you didn’t have a good time .sometimes the inlet can be a bit tough for fishing and I make no secret of that .  I always look at turning a reel and that we did with about 5 fish being caught for the session ..the boat was clean and ready to fish and we’ll equipt with rods and reels and drinks   .we caught some live bait and had plenty of dead baits too and moved to lots of spots ..unfortunately we didn’t catch any of our target species but still managed to turn the reel and I still thought we had a pleasant time ..you were approximately 30 minutes late and I extended the session to make sure you still fished the 4hrs plus some .and thought I guided well sharing knowledge of the area and style of fishing we were doing .however I do value all reviews and will take on board your score to hopefully make your experience better next time if you choose us to fish with again .  enjoy the rest of your stay here in Cairns cheers Gavin cairns sportfishing
