Proudly owned and operated by Cairns locals Darryl and Raewyn, this fishing experience is built on a lifelong passion for the water. Darryl has spent most of his life fishing, exploring the local Cairns region from Hinchinbrook Island to Weipa on the Cape York Peninsula, as well as Karumba—a coastal locality in the Shire of Carpentaria. From reefs to rivers and creeks in between, many holidays have always been spent with his wife Raewyn, their dogs, and a boat in tow.

With extensive local knowledge and a wealth of fishing experience across Cairns and Far North Queensland, Darryl stands out as a highly skilled fishing guide. He has also worked as a fishing guide in Papua New Guinea alongside Captain Barry Cross, who introduced him to the world of popper fishing on the Great Barrier Reef for GTs (Giant Trevally).
