    February fishing trip

    Full Day Trip – Townsville inshore • 2 adults

    Had a great time out with Ian. Weather was up and down with king tides but we still went out there and gave it a good crack. Would definitely go again. Had good fun, and good chats.

    Reported catch:
    Barramundi

    Great trip but fish weren't biting.

    Half Day Trip – Townsville inshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    Skipper and boat were great but fish and weather weren't obliging. Still enjoyed our trip on the water. Would highly recommend Ian Moody Sportsfishing!

    Half Day Trip – Townsville inshore • 2 adults

    First fish of the day was a 106cm Barramundi. Ian shared his knowledge and skill and put us on big Barras right from the start. Will definitely be back
