Sport Fishing / Game Fishing Cairns Australia

The prolific waters of the Great Barrier Reef provide for some of the best sport fishing in the world. With the cooler months from (May to August) providing for good Spanish Mackerel and juvenile Black Marlin fishing. While during the warmer months of (September to January) the fishing is at it finest with Wahoo, large Spanish Mackerel, sailfish, Black Marlin, Yellow fin Tuna and  Mahi Mahi  turning up. With such a diverse range of species it makes for an exciting days fishing. 

Generally four or five rods are trolled at any one time with line classes varying from 6kg to 24kg depending on the size and species being targeted. Trolling is performed with a combination of baits and lures. Baits such as Mullet and Gar Fish (Ballyhoo) are the most common. Artificial lures range from bibless minnows to small and medium skirted lures such as the Pakula cockroach. 

Superb reef fishing is also found throughout the Great Barrier Reef with species such as the Red Emperor and Coral Trout being two of the favourites. Fresh baits of squid and  fish flesh are used on 8/0 hooks in depths of 30m to 50m of water.
