We spent 3 enjoyable mornings fishing with John from Paradise sports fishing Cairns during the September holidays. Because we booked two trips initially John was very upfront about our first trip. He stated before the first trip that because of the tides not to expect too many fish. But he also told us the following trip would be better because of the phase of the moon and the tides. Well he was spot on and what impressed me was his honesty. Each trip he had a plan where to catch the baitfish and where to fish during different tide changes.
I didnโt realise it was so important but now can understand the logic of it. We had two very enjoyable mornings that we booked a third trip. John tried his hardest to give us the best chance of catching fish.ย John has been charter fishing in Cairns for a long time and he is passionate about his job. A very interesting and friendly guy who never seemed to get too worried about things. He constantly moved spots which is hard work constantly pulling up anchors. He put all our bait on and would take the fish off. I didnโt realise that nearly all the fish up here have such sharp teeth or gill rakers.
Our last trip we had a bout a 100 strikes. We caught some take home finger mark snapper lots of dew fish a wolf herring a flathead some catfish and a four foot eel.ย We fed a sea eagle each day and everybody enjoyed the experience. Well worth the money spent.
I have just decided to book again with John for at least three trips next September school holidays. Next year
I would highly recommend John to other families.
