Great Reef Fish Catch

SPECIAL WEEKEND PACKAGE – 2 Days/Nights

This charter leaves Friday afternoons, and is great for those with limited time to spend on the Great Barrier Reef but still want to maximise valuable fishing time. Arriving approximately 10pm at anchor in the shelter of the reef and for those that a keen you can have a fish by all means

This is usually when the Red Emporer are out and about, and on occassion a big Red Throat Emporer as well or even a maori wrasse, Try and a get good nights sleep as you’ve got a full day of reef fishing ahead as we are up early and straight into it. No lost travelling time and the best time of the day for fishing the Great Barrier Reef.

Red Throat

Weather dependant, but more time means you can travel further to better parts of the reef with less fishing pressure. Some of the reef's may include Liff, Boulton, Coles, Creal, Square, Southhampton, Chauvel & Kindemar. With distances of up to 130 Kilometres you’re really out there amongst it.

Red Emporer Fish

Breakfast sees you eating a big serve of Bacon and eggs to keep the energy up for the day and then fish hard!! Plenty of reef species to catch with Bottom bashing, Trolling, snorkelling etc. all available,

Totally up to you, and what you’d like to catch. Sunset drinks whilst catching more fish with mates is hard to beat, best of all, usually not another boat in sigh. Keep fishing, usually most boats are heading in and missing out on that afternoon prime fishing bite. After dinner, Keep fishing cause the Red throat emporer’s can come on the chew, this is what reef fishing is all about. A big day and you’ll be buggered, but it’s all worth it.

Fishin' TripDear Greg and crew,

What a wonderful 3 days.

To set sail from Mackay and drop the boys onto some of Australia’s hottest Red action is unbelievable.

This is a truly unique style of fishing which Reefari offers. Firstly to target Spanish mackerel on the way out and to leave them biting much to my dismay and then follow up catching Red Emperor and Nannagi just hours later, shows me the skill and dedication which your skipper and crew.

We will be coming back next year, the fishing, the food and the people made this Fishin’ Trip well worth the journey from Melbourne, highly recommended to any angler.

Kind regards
Jason Kennedy - Host of Fishin’ Trip - Southern Cross
