Full Day River Fishing - $250 p/p
All Cairns River fishing trips are limited to a maximum of 4 unless prior arrangements have been made
We begin our day at approximately 630 am with a pickup from city accomodation (via arrangement) then drive south of the city making our way towards The Mulgrave/Russell (Johnstone/Mourilyan harbour) rivers. Spectacular scenery is just the beginning as we venture along the highway to our destination. Once we arrive it's time to stretch your legs and the boat is launched. Bait gathering is the next job. Live sardines/herring/mullet and occasionally prawns.
Depending on the time of year will determine what our target species will be. Our tropical fish species are seasonal and the catch can vary. Cold drinks/ tea and coffee are available on all trips and lunch is provided on full day river fishing trips.
