FISHING REPORT March 19th 2015 There won't be much of a fishing report this week as cyclone Nathan is nearing the coast. The barra have been biting and lots of reports of mostly small barra getting caught fishing the runoff and drains. I caught a nice 35cm jack on 4lb gear chasing rat barra. Thanks to Max a young kid who was fishing near me the ja...

We often get asked by visitors from around Australia and overseas for any good fishing spots around. As we are based in Clifton Beach at the Northern Beaches of Cairns it is impossible for us to not include the Palm Cove Jetty as the best and easily most accessible fishing spot in the local neighbourhood. This often leads to a complicated explanat...

Heading north to fish the pristine waters of the east coast of Cape York is always a turn on and as we made our way to a spot near Lockhart River recently my imagination ran wild thinking of that virtual Jurassic Park. Few people get to these parts and if you are planning a trip you need to obtain permission from the landowners well in advance. Ye...

I hadn’t had my regular reef fix for some time and after chatting in the shop with Les Hiddins whom most of you know as the Bush Tucker Man he told me that he had never been fishing on the reef!  He loves barra fishing in the bush and some will remember a beer commercial he did with Dave Killalea casting lures but throughout his illustrious career...

Well another great season is over and its time to reflect on the fishing…. but before I do our season recap I wanted to post up the story I shared over on the Blog after our return from fishing out wide at Holmes Reef in early November – with Jada Dan and Chip.

Greetings We have not been out much over the last couple weeks due to the weather but when we do fishing has been good. Last Mondays 10hr trip saw a boat limit of seabass up to 4lbs. Ken also had his limit of flounder and one was the largest we have seen in quite a […]

Greetings We have seen some good fishing when the weather has been right. The last couple long trips have been cancelled due to the weather. Last Saturdays private charter saw a boat limit of seabass up to 4.5lbs and bluefish. We are still seeing the occasional flounder and triggerfish. There appears to be a calm […]

Greetings We have seen some good sea bass fishing since it opened on the 22nd. Plenty of action with throwbacks and nice keepers in the mix. We are also seeing bluefish flounder and the occasional trigger fish. Our next 10hr trip is this Friday if it gets blown out we will push it back to Monday […]

Greetings Flounder fishing has been pretty consistent over the last month or so. Yesterday was probably one of our best days of the year. We saw over 100 keeper flounders. We have also had a few slow days recently when the current was running hard or the wind is howling. Most days we are sending […]

We have rebranded ourselves with a bright new logo and name change to Cairns Reef Fishing. We think this is a much better identity for our core business that is  running awesome fishing charters to the Great Barrier Reef! We hope you like it…

Another month has passed and here we are gearing up for the marlin season ahead starting with the Cairns BlueWater GFC’s Billfish Tournament held out of Fitzroy Island this coming week. So much has happened since our return from the Gulf last month. Luke and Kelly had a short break to the Sydney Boat Show […] © KEKOA Sports Fishing 2015. Content i...

Greetings We have seen some pretty decent fishing over the last few weeks when the weather has been good. There has been a mix of flounder and seabass. Some days the bass bite better and some days its flounder. We have also seen some tough fishing when the weather has been bad. For more information […]

From the Captain himself!  A recap of KEKOA’s 2015 barra season in the Gulf of Carpentaria: We left Cairns the day after cyclone Nathan crossed the Far North Queensland coast making our passage relatively calm and an easy trip to Horn Island to pick up Rob and Rob. We also had a quick catch up […] © KEKOA Sports Fishing 2015. Content including ima...

This past week our 42ft Randell all purpose built fishing vessel the ‘BLUE WHLAER ‘ has been up in the slip yard getting treated to some serious TLC. With the installation of 2 brand spanking new Caterpillar engines cabin refurbishment and a fresh coat of paint it’s seriously happy days for our beloved ‘BLUE WHALER’. It has been known as a […]

Greetings We didnt get many days in this past week due to prolonged northeast winds that made for some nasty conditions. Once we finally got out on Saturday we saw a much improved sea bass bite along with a few nice size flounders. Some people had 10+ keeper seabass. The heaviest flounder weighed just a […]
