Cairns offers some of the best natural scenery and fishing conditions. The close proximity to the Reef and River Systems make Far North Queensland a fisherman's dream destination. With these factors in mind, Fishing The Tropics can customise their fishing charters to suit.

REEF FISHING:
The huge variety of fish species inhabiting the Great Barrier Reef is astounding.

Fishing The Tropics locally built "Reef Runner 1" offers a fast and comfortable ride to inshore blue water reefs and wrecks. They use the latest high quality Shimano & Penn Reef Fishing outfits for an array of light tackle sports fishing including trolling, live-baiting, bottom fishing and high speed jigging.

For maximum enjoyment and personalised service, numbers of passengers are limited the to six, with two crew at all times on hand for reef fishing. Cairns Reef Fishing tours are not recommended for children under 14 years.

Depart from Cairns Marlin Marina at 7.00 am and return approximately 4.00 pm.

RIVER FISHING:
The local tidal river systems offer excellent river fishing. These rivers rise in the Northern Great Dividing Range and flow majestically through ancient rainforest up to 125 million years old. The physical and structural nature of their tidal flows, sand bars, rock holes, weed beds and gutters can yield some prime sportfish.

Seasonal conditions play a major part in the range of species available at any given time, with barramundi more active during the warmer months of September to March as they prepare for spawning.

Other target species at this time of year include Mangrove Jack, Fingermark, Tarpon and Grunter.

The cooler months in Cairns are particularly good for Queenfish and the four species of Trevally encountered locally. In all, 20 or so species can be encountered.
