Billfish Sports Fishing - Cairns & Great Barrier Reef Game Fishing Charters
Action Shot - Light Tackle


LIGHT TACKLE

Whether you want to sole charter, share charter or liveaboard charter, fishing light tackle is an exhilarating experience! Let our friendly and experienced crew show you the way.

We use TLD 25's and 50's as well as Shimano Spin Reels with Custom Built Rods and a wide variety of tackle with names such as Moldcraft and Boss Lures. On all our charters, bait, tackle food and beverages are supplied.

From January through March anglers can expect to target Sailfish, Giant Trevalley, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo. July through to September heralds the arrival of the Juvenile Black marlin. For the angler wanting the thrill and adrenalin rush of catching a black marlin but not quite ready to sit in the chair and fight a 'grander' you can't beat the thrill of hooking up on a juvenile black. Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna & Mahi Mahi etc are also prevelant in our waters of the Great Barrier Reef during these months. The rest of the year is predominantly suitable for members of the 'Razor Gang' - Spanish Mackerel & Barracuda as well as other pelagics such as Mack Tuna, Yellow and Bluefin Tuna.

MIXED FISHING

Cairns waters have an abundance of Reef fish (bottom feeding fish) and Sports Fish (Pelagics). Our Mixed days consist of a combination of both Reef Fishing and Light Tackle Fishing. Our day is designed to offer the anglers a mixture of Light Tackle in the morning and Reef Fishing in the afternoon. This type of charter can be booked as a share charter or sole charter and some of the species of fish targeted are Spanish Mackerel, Yellowfin Tuna, Coral Trout, Nannigai and Red Emperor. Day trips leave the Cairns Marlin Marina at 8.00am and return at 5.00pm Extended charters can also be designed to suit the angler, based on sole charter.
