Unfortunately however we are fully booked an unable to take any additional reservations. While we would very much love the opportunity to […] © KEKOA Sports Fishi...

Closure dates are timed to coincide with the new moon when key coral reef species aggregate to spawn. We have other charter options available through these closure periods contact us for details.

I think that this pic of Scott Dave and Ray from our more recent trip says it all. After six days on the water three very tired yet very satisfied smiles.  Its been a great start to the season and very satisfying to be finding the good quality fishing we are used to up here […] © KEKOA Sports Fishing 2015.

The 2013 Heavy Tackle Season was a good one though some tough fishing at times.    There were some really big fish around as always with highlights for the TOP SHOT –  winning the Lizard Island Tournament 2nd year in a row fighting an estimated 1100lb+ fish for 3 hours into the night only to break […] The post 2014 The Year Ahead ….. appeared firs...

The 2014 Cairns black marlin season was epic!!      There were fish around from late August with September producing some great fishing which carried on all the way through till the end of November. Number 10 Ribbon Reef was certainly the Hot Spot this year with consistency and an incredible run of big fish. We had a […] The post 2014 ……. WHAT A S...

December/January fishing has been excellent with the usual summer mixed bag of mahi mahi Spanish mackerel tuna GT’s and the odd sailfish and black marlin still lurking if you target them.  The next couple of months should fish well for Blue Marlin if you are up this way and looking for some marlin fishing action.

Did you ever see that ad on TV where the guy wins Lotto and goes fishing out of a chopper? He’s pulling on a fish as the chopper hovers over the water – I’m sure anyone who has seen it could dream of doing that one day. In reality there is no way that kind of helicopter fishing could be done but there is the next best thing and that’s to fish with...

It had been almost a year since my last marlin fishing session on the outer reef which resulted in 5 strikes without a hookup! We did manage a 250 pounder on a Rapala lure fitted with single hooks but that really didn't count as we were chasing 'Big Julie' not her kids!!! So I was pumped and raring to get out there this year after hearing about so...

As a fishing tragic I often get the urge to chase particular species! This is made more frustrating at times by working at Bransfords Tackle Shop where customers spill the beans on their latest captures and often just where they've hit the jackpot. So when Damian Colette and son Jake off 'Saltaire' start to brag about 10 kilo plus 'reds' in 50 met...

Cape York is about the size of the British Isles. That’s over 900 K’s from Cairns to the Tip. In between lies some of the most amazing country God ever created! The variety of tropical woodlands coastal flats and estuaries swamps sand dunes and dry timber country make it a real Jurassic Park and how lucky are we to be in a positon to explore this...

F I S H I N G R E P O R T Congrats to Jeremy with a 133 cm barra in Tinaroo cracking the 1m 30cm club. There have been some big barra caught lately and not all of them from Tinaroo!. The prawns have arrived in numbers with Kilo's being caught around the place and good size too. The esplanade seems to be so packed with prawners you almost have to t...
