Gone Fishing Cairns offers the most spectacular fishing adventures in Trinity Inlet! It is located in the heart of the city of Cairns and allows for some of the best Estuary fishing this region has to offer. Captain Jacob and Captain Russel have years of experience and are excited to show you the hottest fishing spots for the most productive day out.

Trinity Inlet is surrounded by lush greenery and rainforest-clad mountains that make it one of the region’s most diverse and productive fishing systems. You can explore these waters in the comfort of a 26’ Cairns custom craft boat. Depending on weather and tide conditions, you could catch more than 10 species from one productive spot.

This area is home to a great variety of species, including the famous Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Great Trevally, Australian Salmon, Grunter, Jewfish, Fingermark, and Gold Spot Cod among other species. In all, approximately 50 species of fish populate this expansive system.

Above the water, the area offers a wealth of other wildlife to look out for. You can spot around 20 species of birds that include birds of prey, such as the osprey, brahminy kite, and the magnificent white-bellied sea eagle. Don’t forget to be on the lookout for saltwater crocodiles.

Included in the price are top-quality rods and reels. These won’t let you down – whether you are going after your first fish ever or your hundredth. Live bait is also included, and you do not need a fishing licence in this area. You are welcome to bring along your own food and drink on this trip – you’ll want to keep your energy up!
 
Book now for a wonderful day out with Gone Fishing Cairns! You might come as strangers, but you are sure to leave as friends.

From bait to restaurant
Half Day Trip – Shared on June 12, 20255 adults
Our dkipper Jacob caught live bait which we used to catch a nice mixed bag. We caught about 10 different species. We weren't equipped to clean and take our catch, so Jacob offered to clean it. When we discussed preparing the fish, he offered to take it to the Ochre restaurant where they would prepare it. He brought the fish there and made a reservation for us. The fish was fantastic and the presentation amazing. We definitely would recommend the fishing and the dining.

June fishing trip
Half Day Trip – Shared on June 11, 20252 adults
Jacob was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. After cast netting for our bait he took us up to a spot in the search for a Barramundi but was unsuccessfully, but a few undersized cod were landed. Next we dropped anchor in approx 21m of water and snapper, jewfish, lots of hairtails kept us busy. Last stop at inlet entry provided the catch of day a solid blue nose salmon at 75cm. A fabulous morning with a delightful skipper.

Great Aussie captain, full of knowledge
Half Day Trip – Shared on January 24, 20252 adults
The day was great and well organised. Plenty of space on the boat and a chiller full of ice to keep drinks and food cold. Captain rotated between 3 fishing spots which were all great. We caught a 70cm Barra, and a few other fish. Great day and the captain made a great effort to keep the chat up and environment positive. Highly recommend for the price

Jacob knows the area really well… Not just the fishing spots, but the croc sites, the local birdlife and animals, other boats, Cairns life and stories. A great half-day out for us.
