VERIFIED Went fishing on Tuesday, April 4, 2017
I was meant to go out on the tuesday but bad weather pushed us back for 2 days. When we finally got out there every time we dropped anchor we got baits. The crew was fantastic in assisting us with landing the fish and just looking after us. The spread of food was huge not that you had much time between catching fish to eat. All round great trip and I’m planning my next trip with these guys. Do yourself a favour and get out there qith cairns reef fishing.

We had a full day the captain got us out to the reef asap and within say 30 minutes we were catching fish. We moveed around the boat around a bit so we could catch more fish. The lunch they provide d was better that I expected.

Good captain and deck hand. We got fish in the boat in general. Overall it seemed like a good trip. I didnt actually bag any fish. Lost one in the rocks (my fault), lost another to a large shark that left only the head. Nice weather and decent sites. We had 12 on the boat so it caused some competition for fish with so many lines in the water. We also got tangled several times. These things happen. Overall Cairn’s reef is a good operator. The food for lunch was a surprise with many choices for the sandwich buffet. Good fruit end of day and some fresh croissant to start. A shark was caught, several trevally, some trout and a few others like snapper. A very large shark was nearly at surface (we fed him well). I would have went back again if i had the chance.

Great day. Crew was fabulous, food was lovely. Didn’t catch a fish but the crew put in such a great effort for me to catch one that i’ll be back again to have another go. The crew made the day and to catch a fish would’ve been a bonus. But Dapper Dan gave me a fish for trying and that was the icing on the cake for me. I’ll be back!! As i owe them 1 fish for trying. Thanks Dan and Ranger Trent you were awesome.

Great charter, great crew! Awesome scenery and lunch. Only thing that bugged me was the use of mono line on the fishing gear. Hook up rate wouldve been awesome if they were rigged with braid. Also very pricey but in the scheme of things is worth it. Crew were very friendly and knowledgeable, definitely recommend.

If there was a call by crew for ‘anglers to wind up’ when a big fish is on the line of another (on that side of the boat) it would be better as 3 big fish lost as they were in mixed lines at the surface! Coral reef fishing well understood by the crew. The boat is a 42 footer and can take 14 fishing, to me; best if max of 10 fishing per trip would be better!

Boat, equipment and crew were awesome. Did their best to provide best fishing opportunity. It would be good though to state that the transit time plus boat repositioning takes up about 4 hours…so actual fishing time is about 4 hours. This helps the angler to determine the cost effectiveness.
