Tour Overview
Anglers who wish to target a variety of species by various means of fishing, this is your destination. Located some 300NM from Cairns in Far North Queensland. The Bligh Reef area we fish is off one of the most remote stretches of coastline on the eastern seaboard. This is what makes this location one of the most diverse fisheries we have found to date.
Fishing the outside edges for pelagics like, Big Dogtooth Tuna, Yellow fin, Spanish and Wahoo are very productive and can be achieved by casting, trolling or jigging. Otherwise, you can drift the expansive reef flats and Blue Holes, sight fishing for the myriad of reef species that inhabit this hostile environment that is their backyard. Watch on as teams of different species race towards your lure to be the first one to the bait. If this doesn’t get you excited not much else will! This location really does cater for all anglers of different skill levels and different fishing styles.
