What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Cairns, Queensland for the first time?

Brodie definitely knew where the fish were . We caught so many Barra and were totally impressed . He helped and advised us on all Aspects and any questions were answered . Will definately recommend. A great day out

Be prepared for all types of weather and that any catch is a good catch. We went in May and this day was cloudy and the temp had dropped. It was an estuary morning half day trip, I caught a Blue Salmon..other species caught on the trip were Trevally, Mangrove Jack and Grunter. So although the dream was of a Barramundi...just remember to enjoy the thrill, the company and that each day brings a different catch!

If you are planning to take cached fish back, ensure you make arrangements to transport it in the car. You may not get good bags and blood may drip from the given bags to take the the catch home at the end of the trip.

If you are looking to catch a descent fish in cairns just head out to the reef, if you have people with you that are a bit unsure about the open ocean you can still have plenty of fun catching smaller fish in the inlet.

This short trip is great value for money and an easy way to get on the water to catch fish.

Go and hire some fishing rods, we did this after a day on a charter after catching nothing and caught a lot of fish off the local warfs and off the rocks

Great way to see the inlet & fish whatever the tide. You might see a crocodile. Minimal travel time.

Contact Gone Fishing and discuss the best time to go if you are trying to catch a particular species. And remember, catching fish cannot be guaranteed, but you can still have fun trying.

Book a private charter with one that caters to your numbers. Highly recommend Gone Fishing charter. I think they can take up to 8 but check that

Yes, the boat was a good size, large enough for suitable room for each fisherman. Crew were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The fish just didn't want to bite for us.

Any fishing is luck of the draw , some days your lucky some your not , its all about being on the water and relaxing, taking in the new experience

Give this charter boat a call or book online as I did and you will be surely impressed and more than likely catch a fish or two and decent size / variety.

Go with you need to do nothing clean professional and extremely friendly see u next time

Eat light before going on the water and when you are on the water, drink coffee.

Relax and have a good time learn the ways of the experienced angler like the captain

Fish/ no fish - just enjoy being here and learning a bit off the fishing guide. I did!!
