Your Smooth Water River Fishing adventure begins in the shadows of Mountains and takes you through Rainforest covered National Parks the rivers start out as freshwater but turn to saltwater as it moves closer to the mouth, before finally entering the ocean.

The Russell/Mulgrave River is approximately 40kms South of Cairns is lesser known yet is nestled under Queensland's highest mountain, Mt Bartle Frere. It has premier sport fishing on offer, from bait to lure to fly-fishing.

Pick-up is around 6.30am (depending on location), to which we transport everything including the boat & trailer, the rods & PENN reels, all the bait & tackle, cool & hot drinks, morning & afternoon tea, lunch and your experienced fishing guide to the River. Selection of fishing spots are decided depending on tides and their movements, and target species (suggestions are welcome). Drop off is generally around 5.30pm. We take a maximum of six people to the river for a GREAT CAIRNS FISHING ADVENTURE.

Commonly, the River Charters can yield a bonanza of Barramundi, Queen Fish (Queenies), Grunter (Javelin Fish), GT's (Trevally), Thread Fin & Blue Salmon, Mangrove Jack as well as Fingermark, to name a few in the saltwater.
