The estuary fishing in Port Douglas Australia on the Dickson Inlet is simply superb! Especially when you are accompanied by an experienced and knowledgeable local fisherman that is addicted to Barramundi fishing.

It also helps if you are fishing from a purpose built fishing boat. "Jesse" was designed by Bill with the needs of the serious sportfisher in mind. Plenty of room for casting, stable and with a shallow draft, this custom built fishing boat is perfect for fishing the Dickson Inlet in Port Douglas for Barramundi and other pelagic species. During the hot summer months there is shade provided by the canopy so anglers can fish without overheating.

The Dickson Inlet in Port Douglas is a biologically rich and diverse estuary ecosystem that acts as a nursery for many fish species. Unlike a river, which is affected adversely by lack of rain, the Dickson Inlet Port Douglas is an estuary which means that the tides ensure a regular supply of fish species. This of course means that the fishing here is simply superb. Using the bait fish that the predatory pelagic fish feed on ensures exciting fishing action. Port Douglas is blessed for fishing!
Sea Eagles, Brahminy Kites and a large variety of birdlife and crocodiles are regularly seen on this Port Douglas fishing tour. Spectacular views of the Rex Range and Mossman Gorge can be enjoyed whilst fishing on the Dickson Inlet in Port Douglas.

This Port Douglas estuary sportfishing operation is strictly catch and release as this ensures sustainable fish stocks for the generations of recreational anglers to come. Unlike other Port Douglas estuary fishing tours, Bill always catches live bait to use for the tour. The live bait is caught using a cast net at the beginning of the tour. The use of live bait ensures aggressive predatory fish are targeted.

Bill takes no more than six anglers, and caters for all levels of fishing skill from beginners to experienced anglers.

Quality Shimano tackle is used as well as custom built sportfishing rods. Fish species regularly caught on Trinity Sportfishing Half Day Tours include: Barramundi, Fingermark, Mangrove Jack, Grunter, Queenfish, Cod, Tarpon, Salmon, Bream and Giant Trevally
