Background: Captain Darryl grew up in Adelaide fishing with his brother from a very young age. 20 years later, he arrived in Cairns, and every possible moment became all about fishing and exploring. Captain Darryl became the owner-operator of Fish Tales Charters over 20 years ago, and after a decade of successful guiding decided to build the Don't Know to offer a variety of fishing charters due to the high number of repeat customers.
Techniques: Captain Darryl loves lure and popper fishing for Queenfish over the winter months on the Mulgrave and Russell Rivers.

August Estuary Fishing 2025

Aug 31, 2025 Cairns

In Tropical North Queensland during the month of August not only do we see a change in the weather ie cooler nights, sunny days but can be very windy! Most of our charters are in the estuary of a morning. For the month of August the collection included Bream, small trevally, Queenfish, Hairtail, Javelinfish, Barramundi, Goldspotted Estuary Cod to name a few. Cheers Dazza

July 2025 Estuary Fishing in Trinity Inl

Jul 31, 2025 Cairns

Estuary fishing in Trinity Inlet of Cairns over the cooler month of July was at times surprising. At times our customers were able to see our resident estuarine Saltwater Crocodiles! So cool to see back Long Head Hairtails in the estuary-it`s been too long! (definitely from the dinosaur era)! Common caught fish species included Blue threadfin, Fingermark, Estuary trevally, Gold spotted estuary cod, Dusky Flathead, Mangrove jacks, Pikey Bream, juvenile Queenfish. Loved having the kids onboard over the school holidays!

Thanks so much to Laura and Michael for having the best day in Cairns. So good to meet you and to show you around. Target species Trout, Mackerel; caught and kept for dinner included Coral Trout & Spanish Mackerel-two of the best sportsfish with excellent eating qualities.

Only takes one Spanish Mackerel for Dave while reef fishing from Cairns. Guess the weight?

Couldn’t have asked for a better trip! Darryl is an expert and a great bloke. Bought this trip for my boyfriend for his 30th happy just for the experience but Darryl was keen on getting us a few big catches. Came back with 6 big fish at the end of the day - quite a few more than the blokes a couple of spots down on the pier. Captain was very patient and gave great instructions (I’d never been fishing at sea before). We moved on when nothing was biting (or when the sharks were) and Darryl knew... Meer

Went out today for a great charter with Darryn. Second time ive used fish tales charter and again it was a great experience. He put us on the fish and was willing to help out whenever we needed him. Ive never caught such a variety of fish in my life. Was great with the kids too and they loved it. Highly recommend fish tales for anyone looking to estuary fish.
