C'è un pesce con il tuo nome a Port Douglas e Port Douglas Sportfishing ti aiuterà a catturarlo!

Queste acque sono conosciute per i grandi Nannygai, Spangled emperor, Sweetlip emperor, Cobia, Giant trevally, Barramundi, Queenfish, Golden trevally, Coral Trout, Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, Longtail tuna e molto altro – con un po' di fortuna, faranno urlare il tuo mulinello. Il giorno della tua uscita di pesca, probabilmente pescherai a traina e a fondo utilizzando light tackle. Il Capitano Gavin offre anche pesca in superficie per i grandi GT, basta chiedere informazioni su questa opzione in modo che possa essere aggiunta alla tua avventura

Port Douglas Sportfishing accoglie i bambini a bordo, così tutta la famiglia può venire e staccare la spina per la giornata! I bambini devono indossare giubbotti di salvataggio, quindi verifica se la taglia appropriata è disponibile a bordo. Anche gli snack sono una buona idea così nessuno diventa irritabile a stomaco vuoto!

La tua avventura inizia a bordo di un Eagle Ray da 18' con console centrale che può ospitare fino a 5 passeggeri. È dotato di tutti gli elementi essenziali senza i quali nessuna macchina da pesca può funzionare. Il Capitano Gavin fornirà canne e mulinelli, insieme alle esche artificiali. L'esca viva è disponibile, ma assicurati di chiedere informazioni in modo da sapere se dovrai catturarla tu stesso.

Dovrai acquistare una licenza di pesca locale prima dell'uscita. Queste informazioni sono solitamente disponibili online, oppure puoi chiedere al capitano. Alcune specie potrebbero essere protette o richiedere un'etichetta per poterle trattenere, quindi assicurati di sapere cosa aspettarti. Alcuni articoli da portare includono crema solare (non spray) e occhiali da sole. Le bevande sono incluse, gratuitamente. L'alcol è consentito con moderazione, evita solo i superalcolici così come le bottiglie di vetro.

Mettiti in contatto con il Capitano Gavin qui sotto e inizia a pianificare la tua uscita di pesca oggi!

Perfect morning of fishing with a friendly and knowleable captain
Half Day Trip – Inshore Reef (AM) on October 31, 20252 adults2 children
We had an awesome fishing trip with Captain Gavin out at the inshore reef off Port Douglas. The conditions were perfect, and Gavin made the whole experience fun, easy, and productive. We caught a great range of reef fish throughout the morning, with plenty of action to keep everyone excited. The highlight was bringing home two beautiful coral trout, which made for an absolutely delicious lunch! Gavin’s local knowledge and professionalism really made the day. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just out for some fun on the water, I’d highly recommend a trip with Captain Gavin — a top-notch fishing charter experience in Port Douglas!

Half Day Trip – Estuary (PM) on June 7, 20253 adults
The title is a direct quote from my 15 year old daughter. Gavin was an amazing captain. First is methodical approach to fishing is really cool. He explained how to get right bait, the right tide, and the spot. He has a very “be the fish” approach. One of my 15 year old twins is very into both fishing and engineering. While we waited for our fish to bite, Gavin explained how all of the equipment worked. It was incredible. My other 15 year old daughter I relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful day in the estuary. Gavin also explained how the estuary system worked and about the wildlife there as well as in the reef. Gavin is definitely a “girl dad”. It was the low season and the water was cooler so we only caught one fish but it was a half meter long so it made for a plentiful and delicious dinner. Everyone will enjoy fishing with Gavin but if you have daughters this is your captain!

Amazing experience for someone family.
Half Day Trip – Estuary (PM) on April 12, 20262 adults2 children
This was a gift for my 11year old son. Though they didn't catch much. They still caught a few each and Gavin was really patient showing how to get live bait, showing them how to put bait on the hook, cast, strike and reel them in. They loved it.

Fantastic afternoon
Half Day Trip – Inshore Reef (PM) on January 3, 20263 adults

Reported catch:
Coral Trout

**Rationale:** The Coral Trout (Plectropomus leopardus) is a species native to the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around Australia's Great Barrier Reef. This fish is not found in Italian waters (Mediterranean Sea) and does not have an established Italian common name in fishing terminology. Italian anglers would not be familiar with this species in their local context. Therefore, keeping the English name "Coral Trout" is the correct approach, as it maintains accuracy and is recognizable to anglers who might encounter this term in international fishing contexts.
