Thanks a lot, I will contact him!

Hi, Thanks for the response and information. What is considered small tuna? We are maybe thinking 10-15kg at the least.

Hi, The only other plans we have is to see the barrier reef and Ayer’s rock. We would have to plan our fishing trip according to the best place, but preferably if there are some places near the reef(east/ north east coast) so we don’t have to travel across country, but if we have to for better fishing we will.

Hi! Me and my father (38 and 64years of age) is planning on travelling to Australia 20/12-20/1 2022 or 2023. Our plan is to fish off shore at least 5-7 of those days (full consecutive days, at least 7 hours). The thing is that I have no clue where to start looking. We would primarily like to fish for tunas/marlin if possible, doesn’t really matter which tuna/marlin. We are not aiming for the biggest fishes, we’d rather have several 20kg fishes instead of one 100kg if that makes sense. Other species that are of interest are other fighting fishes that are a fun catch. We would like to rent and/or hire a captain/guide of a smaller boat in first hand, we do not want to be on a larger charter boat with other tourists that hasn’t fished. An other option would be a bigger boat with other customers that are used to fishing. We have a lot of deep sea fishing experience being in Norway for 20+ years. Catching a Halibut, in between the 40-60kg range, and alot of cod. We don’t have that much experience with fishes living in the higher temped seas (got some bluefin and yellowfin around 10kgs in Malta some years ago but that’s it.) We have own gear for smaller fishes, but not for the bigger ones so we would need gear for that. (We only have 200-300 meters of line on our spools) Where would a good place to go fish? Any suggestions of boats/good guides/charters? Thanks in advance. //Nicklas edit. Added marlin, I forgot about those beauties for some reason.
