Come Deep Sea Fishing With Us

Your mother shipping adventure begins with Trigla leaving at 4pm from Mackay Marina for an afternoon cruise to the outer Great Barrier Reef, cruising at 10 knots with Raptor II in tow.

We ask Customers to arrive at 3 pm or earlier for a smooth departure time. Cruising late into the night, allowing us to wake up on the Great Barrier Reef with a full day of fishing ahead of us. Working various reef's and fishing methods whilst still traveling to the Hardline outer reef lagoons.

Large sheltered Pristine Reef Lagoons with calm seas will be the anchorages of choice with resident populations of Giant Trevally and Gropers for neighbours.

These lagoons are sheltered from choppy seas and swells offering a great night sleep after a hard day fishing. With these reef's only five to ten nautical miles from the continental shelf and some of the best fishing Queensland can offer, it’s truly fishing nirvana.

With five days fishing on the outer Hardline and continental shelf, a different route home is taken, exploring and fishing these unique waterways, coral cay's and lagoons on the voyage back home.
