Bill" as he is known to those in the industry who has been
addicted to fishing his whole life. Even when working as a

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
