Great Fishing Adventures of Australia Welcomes Two New Members

Great Fishing Adventures of Australia is absolutely thrilled to welcome Tropical Sportfisher to our Signature Experiences of Australia program. Rory Brookes is the heart and soul behind this locally owned gem, based in Cairns, Far North Queensland.

With over 25 years of sportfishing expertise in the tropics, Rory Brookes founded Tropical Sportfisher in 2018. His passion led to the creation of specialised guided lure and fly-fishing experiences in the Far North Queensland area including Cairns, Cape York, Mission Beach and the Great Barrier Reef.  With his private day charters designed for a maximum of 2 anglers, he can ensure an intimate and personalised guided sport fishing adventure.

Topical Sportfisher also offers 3-day/4-night mothership fishing adventures accommodating up to 6 anglers. They also incorporate heli fishing and multi-day fishing/camping experiences, able to access very remote areas to catch the bucket list species such as barramundi and permit. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Tropical Sportfisher is the only fishing guide service offering tropical freshwater fishing for jungle perch.

Tropical Sportfisher is committed to responsible fishing and all guided fishing is catch and release. They take great care to minimise their environmental impact, ensuring that the beauty of Tropical North Queensland endures for generations of anglers to come.   🎣✨

Let's give another warm welcome to Barra or Blue Fishing Charters, a Darwin-based fishing operator who has been making waves for the past 5 years under the expert guidance of Lincoln Kirby. Fun fact: Lincoln reeled in his first barramundi at the tender age of 3!  With over a decade of fishing in the Northern Territory, Lincoln's knowledge of the waters is as vast as his passion for barra fishing. He's not just a pro; he's your go-to guy for turning those bucket-list fishing dreams into an unforgettable reality.  🎣

Joining Lincoln is one of Darwin's most awarded billfish guides, Kurt Williamson. Hailing from the picturesque Kimberley in Western Australia, Kurt has been casting lines and making waves in the fishing scene for over two decades. Whether it's barra or billfish, Kurt's got the expertise, and it's no surprise he's listed in Angler's Choice as simply one of the best.

Located just an hour from Darwin at Dundee Beach, you can chase the much sought-after barramundi in the scenic river and estuary systems that are teeming with wildlife. These systems also hold good numbers of big mud crabs, threadfin salmon and black jewfish.  The bluewater is home to some of the best-eating reef fish in the ocean including coral trout, red emperor, bluebone and golden snapper.  And the best bit? They are happy to cook your catch right there and then.  There is also the option to take fillets home in prepared cold travel bags.

A selection of the prized sportfish that Barra or Blue offers include big trevally, tuna, queenfish, cobia and Spanish mackerel. Sailfish and marlin are also an option at the right time of year.  They will mix up fishing styles and tactics to what is working best at the time to make sure everyone has the best experience possible.

Fishing fanatics, get ready for some incredible fishing adventures with this fantastic addition to our collective! 🎣✨
