RIVER & ESTUARY FISHING

Fish Tales operate Cairns Fishing charters in four of the best fishing locations in North Queensland: the Cairns Inlet (also known as Trinity Inlet) Russell River/ Mulgrave River and on the Daintree River.

Fishing is one of the 'Must Do' tours whilst in Cairns. The open waters, creeks and deep channels of the Cairns Estuary System are a paradise for anglers and fishermen alike. Cairns-Trinity Inlet is a State Marine Park, this natural habitat has numerous deep holes, mudflats, snags, and drop-offs making it a great location to catch a variety of fish species.

The Cairns Estuary area has over 100kms of waterways just at our backdoor, so let Fish Tales show you our backyard. Common species caught on this trip are: Fingermark, Mangrove Jack, Estuary Cod, Grunter, Queen Fish, Trevally, Mud Crabs and of course: Barramundi.

Estuary Departures:
The morning tour operates: 7.30am - 12pm and the afternoon tour: 1.00pm - 5:30pm. The charter departs and returns at the Marlin Marina (located next to the Pier Shopping centre).  

Lunch is NOT included on the full day estuary fishing tour, but you have time to purchase your own during the lunch break.

River Departures:
Pick-up is around 7.00am (depending on location), all the bait & tackle, cool & hot drinks, morning & afternoon tea is included. Drop off is generally around 5.30pm. A maximum of six people for this tour.

The Russell/Mulgrave River is approximately 40kms South of Cairns is lesser known yet is nestled under Queensland's highest mountain, Mt Bartle Frere. It has premier sport fishing on offer, from bait to lure to fly-fishing.

The Daintree River is about 30kms North of Port Douglas, bordering on the World heritage Listed Rainforest of the Daintree National Park. This is a fishing frenzy with it`s extensive snags, gutters, holes, island and ever present wildlife.

Common caught river fish are: Barramundi, Queen Fish, Grunter, Trevally, Salmon, Mangrove Jack and Fingermark

Fish Tales supply all rods & PENN reels; all bait, tackle, lures and fly gear, plus cool & hot drinks, morning or afternoon tea with transfers - adds up to a great day of fishing! Lunch is included on the full day river fishing.

Private Charters
A private charter lure/fly fishing can be a group of up to 6 mates with a few beers and as a group gathering for fishing the day is as individual and unique as the group.

On all our charters we supply all rods & PENN reels, all bait & tackle, cool & hot drinks, morning & afternoon tea and you'll be under the guidance of a very experienced fishing guide.
