Sports Fishing

Sports Fishing
The Hot Spots we choose for the day will depend on the targeted species and what is biting best at the time. We endeavor to show you a new sportsfishing destination each day, we like to show you as much of our region as we can! We want you to have the best possible fishing holiday so you will return year after year.
 
Here are a few examples of the sportsfishing hot spots available around Weipa and in the Cape York Region:

Creeks & Rivers
Fish in pristine mangrove lined creeks and rivers all with unique Eco Systems. The low tides force baitfish out of the mangroves and out onto the flats. For the baitfish, there is no where to hide from hungry Barramundi and King Salmon! This is the ideal time to have lure or fly in the water. Casting into mangroves snags is the challenge, getting your fly or lure right in close usually rewards you with a Barramundi or Mangrove Jack.
 
Coastal Beaches:
We'll visit Weipa's coastal beaches & flats where the only footprints you will see will be your own! Crystal clear water for wading and targeting schools of Salmon, Giant Herring & Barramundi with the occasional sighting of a big cruising Giant Trevally or Queenfish. We'll keep a look out bait schools along the shoreline, hungry predators push the small fish hard up on to the bank. Skipping a pooper over the surface fools the Queenfish & Salmon into thinking that baitfish is getting away.  There is nothing like competition, they'll be climbing over each other to get at your lure.
 
Coastal Reefs:
Shallow Reefs, full of reef dwelling species. Casting jigs & poppers into clear water for visual strikes from Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Finger Mark and Giant Trevally. Hooking up is easy, getting the fish out of their coral homes and to the boat is the challenge! Just hang on. Trolling deep driving lures over bombes watching the sounder for schooling Golden Snapper or Finger Mark once the fish are found you can have multiple hook-ups every pass. A sportsfishing paradise!Pelagic's like Mackerel, Tuna, Queenfish & huge Cobia patrols the reef edges. These are some of the toughest fighting fish you will ever connected too. We watch the sky for sea birds diving into the water feeding on baitfish pushed up to the surface by hungry Tuna, Mackerel, Trevally and Queenfish. Exciting fishing, fish come thick and fast when they're in a feeding frenzy.
