Usually the weather and catch is great, so not too much to recommend but Jan and August are the best times

Book with Jacob. He knows what he's doing and he'll look after you really well. He can clean your fish and you can have your fish prepared at the Ochre restaurant. Talk to Jacob and he'll sort it. Our experience was very good.

If you want to catch a lot of fish you need to go to the reef and the weather does not always cooperate especially in the winter. The estuary is an experience all by itself. Be patient and enjoy. Fishing is an experience. The catching of actual fish is just a possible outcome of that experience.

Be flexible and ready to change dates if you're planning on taking a trip there anywhere near the wet season. Wind plays a huge factor as-well obviously.

Great boat, fishing gear and guide. Worried about Crocs getting in boat, no chance, nice high sides both in and out, to keep everyone safe and to ensure everyone enjoys their fishing. This estuary fishing experience will show you the unseen part of Cairns that from the car cannot provide, if your reading this, you'll love the experience too!

Estuaries are definitely quiet in the winter in August, however reef and topwater are good as always. If you were looking to fish the estuary, book for summer months in February and March, where you can legally keep the barramundi's while also hooking a good amount of them

Note: the link to the location of the boat is wrong. It showed the Cairns marina (where snorkel boats leave from).
