Gold Coast shark fishing
Gold Coast bloke Robbie Hughes at Varsity Lakes apartments
on Lake Orr doesn't need a boat to go fishing.
He lives on the 6th floor of an apartment building above a lake
and fishes from his balcony !
With the help of his mate David he has caught at least 12 bull sharks
up to two metres in length, while another 100 or so have gotten
away. It requires some team work, Robbie casts the line from the
balcony and when he's got one hooked Dave grabs the gaff and zooms
down in the lift to the bottom car park to help pull in the catch.
Gold Coast canals are notorious for bull sharks, two swimmers were
killed here in 2002.
World's largest barramundi
|
The world's largest recorded barramundi was caught by Dave Powell
in Lake Tinaroo in September 1999. You can try your luck with one of the local fishing charter boats. Every year around March, for nearly 30 years now , they hold the World Barramundi Fishing Competition in the outback town of Burketown in western Queensland. More info here... In March 2010 Tony Bambino from Mutchilba, Qld. made the news with a 30 kg. barramundi that he caught without any fishing gear! He was driving past the river late arvo and saw something shiny in the water, he jumped out of his car and grabbed the big fish by the mouth. It took more than ten minutes of hard work to drag it out of the water but he got it ! |

Some good size queenfish and trevalli from the Endeavour River at Cooktown
In Cooktown, north Queensland there is some very good fishing to be done as you can see on the pics above.
Fishing in the Daintree
Go fishing when you're staying in the Daintree/Cape Tribulation area; there's a few fishing boats available to charter on the Daintree river, or you can rent your own boat. They boats come and go a bit so we can't keep up to date info here but first find yourself some accommodation in the Daintree and your host will find you a boat then.
New South Wales fishing
Fishing report by Froggy: I have actually just returned from a 2 day Game Fishing Trip to Bermague on New South Wales Sapphire Coast. I have always dreamed of catching a Black or Striped Marlin on the high seas, and guess what.. I caught a 100-110 kg - 244lbs - Striped Marlin on my first try. It is very hard to describe the feelings of having a screaming reel in your hand, and wondering,, How can I actually reel this Monster in... he is pulling so hard, and I felt so tiny hanging on to the rod, and winding as fast as possible, then having this Fish take over, and I end up further away from him as when I first hooked on. Anyway... after a titanic struggle for 45 min, with a massive amount of help from the skipper, using his boat handling skills to take up the slack on the line, moving his 30ft boat in and out like it was a 12 ft tinny.... I finally got him along side,,, Yes! - I Tagged and released, (T.R.)

Northern Territory
Bare hand barra fishing! Some of the most amazing fishing I have ever seen was in Mataranka, Northern Territory, where a bloke catches barramundi with his bare hands. He will stand in the water holding a bit of bait and when the barra goes for it he will shove his hand up its mouth ( making use of the fact barra don't have teeth) and lift him out of the water.
