Heavy Tackle Charters

Giant Black Marlin

September to December

Australia's great Barrier Reef plays host to the largest congregation of Black Marlin in the world during their annual spawning aggregation. Large female Black Marlin in excess of 1000 pounds are met by the smaller males to breed resulting in incredible opportunities for anglers to catch that fish of a lifetime.

The fishing grounds are along the outer reefs from Cairns to North of Lizard Island with 'the bite' generally starting to the north early in the season and firing more off Cairns toward the end of the season. Although marlin are caught consistently along all of these areas.

Trolling large dead baits are the most effective methods to catch these fish with the use of Circle Hooks ensuring a tough fight and healthy fish released.

Light Tackle Gamefishing

Juvenile Black Marlin

July to September

From July to September we see the annual run of Juvenile Black Marlin off Cairns providing incredible fishing action on light tackle. Large bait schools form around the inshore shoals resulting in marlin congregating in numbers.

Sailfish, Spanish Mackerel, Tuna and other pelagic species are also plentiful all year round.
