Coral Trout and Red Bass

Imagine yourself fishing the crystal clear deep blue of the outer Far Far North Great Barrier Reef due east of Cape York where literally no one has ever fished before. Casting to Giant, and I mean Giant 50+ pound Trevally's, Red Bass, Snapper and others that will really test your skills on the reef edges.

Red Bass


Or cast and troll for Mahi-Mahi, Dogtooth and big eye Tunas, Marlin and more on the drop offs of the warm fish rich Coral sea interspersed with never fished coral reefs. Use cut baits or plugs for delectable Coral trout, the "Blue spot" or "Oceanic" variety that grow to 50lb in these outer reef waters along with scores of other delectable hard fighting reef dwellers. You might be the first to catch a bonefish on fly in Australian waters from one of the numerous coral cays and massive reef flats that abound in this undiscovered, never (and I mean literally NEVER) fished area that does not even have hydrographical survey charts let alone any angling preasure. This is just too exciting.

Giant Trevally



With our new mothership and fleet of larger skiffs and sport fishers we now have the ability to explore this remote marine wilderness fishing these magnificent waters in unsurpassed comfort and safety. November thru March when the South Easterly trade winds have laid down is locally referred to as the doldrums. This is when we will explore with the light variable winds and warm tropical sun during the day and the possibility of evening and night tropical showers to polish the air for a brilliant sunrise over the Coral Sea, the start of another days adventure.

Coral Trout



By 4pm with enough light left to secure safe anchorage after a big day out in the skiffs we will be in a secure sheltered reef or island lagoon for the night, late afternoon fishing in these anchorages from the skiffs may well surpass anything from anywhere else you have experienced prior to this trip before the night spent in air-conditioned comfort in your twin share cabin after a beautiful meal and relaxing drinks from the bar with the company of friends. These trips are the leading edge of fishing holiday safaris any where in the world.


A quote from Steve Starling noted Australian fishing expert, journalist, author and television media personality whom has fished Cape York for the last 15 years.

Red Emperor






"As I said earlier, this trip definitely rates in my all-time top 10, and that’s a list culled from three decades that have taken me from the Arctic salmon river of Russia’s Kola Peninsula to the bonefish flats of Christmas Island and the ochre gorges of the Kimberley, plus a lot of other dream destinations in between." -Steve Starling.
