I'm planning trip to Austrailia in October, including Cairns-Great Barrier Reef. Big game fishing my passion before I discovered DG and PG hunting in Africa.
Been "gamed" several times by internet salesmen re hunting and fishing.
I now only book via personal reference.
Anyone able to provide recommendation for Cairns/nearby for both offshore pelagic and near shore/inshore fishing?

Thank you
Bob
 
Sorry can’t remember who I fished with out of Cairns as I was mainly diving; if your in Cairns try “Prawn Star” it’s a floating restaurant in the Marina if only to see the giant grouper that lives around the boat feeding in prawn heads that get tossed over.

Thank you again for your help.

Mv Norseman up in Port Douglas is a well-run outfit. Could be worth a look.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
