While many say that if you haven’t fished a Cairns heavy tackle season some may say you haven’t fished at all – the giant black marlin fishery of Cairns is not all the east coast waters have to offer. The juvenile black marlin grounds off Townsville and the Gold Coast are great options for light tackle specialists or for novices looking for a lot of fun.
Meanwhile, Port Stephens is recognised as one of Australia’s most picturesque and action packed fisheries. Blue, black and striped marlin are all prolific in these waters. And in the winter, the waters of the Gold Coast also offer good medium to heavy tackle fishing for striped and blue marlin.
