G'day Bud,

There's plenty of coastline beaches and rocky headlands that all fish well on the run from Cairns up to Port. Just be carefull as there is a green zone along this stretch which is closed to fishing.

There's no real hotspots as such. The water is generally shallow for some distance so best bet is to pic an incoming tide just before dusk when the predators search the shallows.

We usually fish with half pillies and play the waiting game. Sometimes the action can be non stop. You can expect to catch species like barracuda, whalers, trevally, grunter, dart etc

Best catch to date was a 1m barra on a half pillie off 4 mile beach in 3feet of water.

You can also walk the beaches casting soft plastics on sunrise. Usually see the trevally and queenies busting up the jelly prawns.

Lots of good charter operators out of Port.. Pm me for a list and your budget lol..

Cheers,

Chris.
