Cairns Charters

[reefbreak]

Hi

Will be treating myself to a charter in march (i know early doors) and i thought i better be looking now as people/places book up early and i only have a certain time period i can go

i would like to go both barra fishing and GT fishing (on different days i.e 2 days 2 charters)

Ever since my dad gave me a copy of an aussie fishing mag he brought back on a business trip in 1995 where on the cover was a guy holding what must have been a 40kg GT i have alwasy wanted to get one.

I would love to go surface popping for them, as such i have saved up my pennies and have about $2-2.5k to spend in total for both charters.

However paying high dollar doesnt mean you get a good boat.

Any one out there with any ideas, knowledge etc would be much apperciated.

i have found these guys

Cheers

look up nomad sportfishing adventures? GT popping is one of their specialties, they are quite well known and famous, not sure if half the 2.5k is enough to cover nomad though

I had found them on google the other day and sent them an email.

however 2 problems

1) i dont think 2.5k would be enough for even there basic entry level trip

2) sadly their schedule is pretty much full up.

:'(

I will buy a lottery scratch card this weekend...but im not a lucky person

Have heard good things about blackout.

Tried to get on last time i was working up there but there were reef closures while i was there.

I know a dude who had a ball last time he went mostly caught trout and a couple of reds not sure about gts though I'm sure if though if thats what your chasing they will know where to look. Hope you have a ripper time
