25.01.2022 What a awesome day fishing on the reef, one of them days when every goes to plan, the fish are the hungry and the sharks are absent, we fished inshore on some isolated rocks for a few nanny’s in the morning then ran out into the deeper water to chase some more nanny’s and red emperor, let’s just say the red emperor fishing was pretty red hot, we caught 17 for the day but only 6 legal reds so they rest went back and a bunch of nice nanny’s for the guests as well, a few coral trout and some big trevallys as well for a bit of variety, the 3 guests got the GBR Grand slam (coral trout, large mouth nannygai and a red emperor) which topped the day off, back out there tomorrow on the hunt

25.01.2022 Back out there again today and it’s been pretty tough fishing the last few days but we picked them off slowly to get some nice fish for the guests, the wind is coming down towards the end of the week and we will be able to get back out in the deep water where we want to be fishing chasing some bigger model fish, regardless of the weather conditions it’s always great to be out on the water catching fish

24.01.2022 Nice dog tooth tuna we caught today jigging in 20 meters of water

24.01.2022 New video I put together of a Few Giant Trevally for the boys from Melbourne, Check it out

23.01.2022 This one was funny day, watch and laugh

23.01.2022 What a awesome day accompanied by glass out weather for the boys, we have a group of 4 on for 4 days and our first day today was spent shark fishing with a bit of reef fishing while waiting for the sharks to bite, it didnt take long to hook the first one on our standard coral trout bait and it was game on, we released 3 nice bull sharks for the day and caught a bunch of coral trout and large mouth Nannygai in between sharks to keep the boys occupied, they have opted for GT popper fishing tomorrow so we get to punish them again

23.01.2022 A few baby crayfish we caught by hand and released after a quick photo, they hang around the side of the jetty we park our boat on, if only they were another 3kg bigger

23.01.2022 What an awesome days fishing for our guests, we were treated to some great weather finally and some great fishing to go with it, with perfect conditions we decided to put the time and effort in today to just chase nannygai and after a pretty slow start in the morning and a shift of location we found the hungry ones and it was game on for the rest of the day, we put some nice nannygai, coral trout, red emperor and a fat cod on the deck to finish of the day just nicely, back out there again tomorrow on the hunt and we still have 3 spots available if your keen to join the action

23.01.2022 0 knots and dead calm, should be a nice days fishing on the Great Barrier Reef

23.01.2022 We have been out the last few days fishing up in shallow waters while the wind has been up and down and managed to get stuck into some good numbers out coral trout for the guests, it’s been patchy fishing but once we find them it’s been game on for us, back out there tomorrow and hopefully there hungry

22.01.2022 We had 2 of our regular clients back out chasing GTs for the last 2 days, these boys were up here 3 weeks ago fishing with us and are suckers for punishment, We had a tough day yesterday but had plenty of shots at them and lost a real nice boat side, We pushed through the slack tides today missing 5 before lunch and then changed location to our old faithful spot, we caught 2 nice ones, a red bass from a pack attack of 20 odd fish and lost another 2 GTs to finish the day off, the boys are back in January to settle the score

22.01.2022 A nice day on the water today with some nice fish caught for our private charter guests, we went and got stuck into some large mouth Nannygai and finished the day with a few trout, looks like some awesome weather for the whole week so if your keen to get stuck while the weather and fishing is good then give us a call

22.01.2022 We took the boys out popper fishing for GTs today and although pretty quiet for the conditions we still managed to catch a couple GTs and a nice Spanish mackerel which crash tackled a stickbait and pulled a few jumps, back out tomorrow bottom fishing and weather is looking prime

22.01.2022 A good day but a tough day popper fishing with Ethan and don today, we had the rubber hooks syndrome most the day but we caught 2 from 6 with the other one being sharked in 9 metres of water beside the boat and a big red bass and a mackerel on the stickbaits as well to finish the day, couldn’t of asked for better weather to do it in SHIMANO Australia Fishing

22.01.2022 If there was one thing I loved it was GT fishing, Never caught many my self and always wished I was the one hooked up on charter but nothing made me happier than putting our guests onto big arse fish

22.01.2022 Its that time of the year for the beast, Service the motors and gearboxs (done every 100 hours but my as well do them while the boats out), new decals, anti foul the boat, cut and polish and general maintenance, we will be back in the water Friday and hoping that the winds come down so we can get back out fishing Powercat Marine SHIMANO Australia Fishing Simrad Yachting Undertow Saltwater Apparel Savwinch Drum Winches #powercat #shimano #simrad #undertow #savwinch

20.01.2022 If there was one thing we loved it was putting people onto quality fish and giving them the time of their life, I think we nailed it

20.01.2022 We headed out wide with a few mates today for a relaxation charter and have a bit of fun and its safe to say we got stuck into some quality fish, we bashed around out in 60-70 metres and caught some thumping red emperor and got railed by some unstoppables, after putting a few in the esky we went and chased some robinson sea bream on a few marks that usually produce some nice ones and put some quality robbos on the deck, finished the day up with few coral trout for the boys and called it a day and headed for home, another awesome day on the reef fishing with some nice weather to go with it

19.01.2022 It’s been awhile since the wind has allowed us to get out on the reef fishing, the boys wanted to chase large mouth nannygai and red emperor and we didn’t disappoint them, we put some quality fish on the deck through the day and got stuck into a bunch of trevally for some fun, the winds back up now and for how long is anyone’s guess, hopefully not long so we can get back out there amongst it #ifindemyouwindem #filletandrelease

18.01.2022 The weather is perfect today and the fish are hungry

18.01.2022 We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at GBR Sport Fishing Charters, we would also like to thank everyone for your support and for fishing with us this year, we couldn’t do it with out you drive safe, stay safe, relax and have fun

17.01.2022 The new set of boat rods arrived today thanks to my main man Leroy at Shimano, our old rods which are exactly the same have caught a few thousand fish between them over the past 4 years and we havent broken a rod, a guide or had any issues with them, the only reason we are replacing them is the foam grips are worn out on the old ones, if thats not a testament to quality rods I dont know what is, heres to another for 4 years of the guests thrashing the hell out of them SHIMANO Australia Fishing

17.01.2022 The weather is still perfect and the fish are still biting, we headed up to shark country today to test our luck against them and see what was biting and first drop and we kicked the day off with some nice nanny’s, it was patchy fishing but we ended with a nice esky of fish for the boys for there efforts and only a few sharkings on some smaller model fish, another nice day on the Great Barrier Reef

16.01.2022 Some nice weather and a flat calm ocean made for some good fishing yesterday, no big runs on fish but we picked them off through out the day to get everyone some fish for the table, including one awesome coloured blue spot/footballer trout and one drinker of a titan trigger fish, weather looks like it’s back up for the weekend then hopefully we can back into it the start of the week

16.01.2022 Throw back to when I took a mate of mine jonathan sterckz to dive a inshore wreck in 28 metres off cairns and he nails a absolute cracker of a diamond trevally off the bottom after his 8th dive, some serious breath holding skills

16.01.2022 Been a tough few days fishing with the fish not biting and the sharks giving us absolute hell again, lost over 15 nannygai out in the deep water today to sharks but still came home with a feed for the guests, here’s few pics from the last 2 charters, hopefully tomorrow we can avoid the taxman and put some quality fish on the deck

16.01.2022 I changed my mind last year and I wasn’t going to sell but it’s back on the market, It’s time to step away and focus on the family and my other business

15.01.2022 Another glamour day today and we spent it popper fishing for Giant Trevally, the boys kicked it off with a Spanish mackerel off the surface straight up and then we plugged away at the GTs, we caught 3 and seen plenty and finished it up with one on the buzzer, back out there tomorrow shark fishing which shouldnt be to hard

10.01.2022 I had Deano and Rick our yesterday on a private charter and chased coral trout all day and put 14 trout in the esky for them, with the boys back out again today the plan was chase quality not quantity and the target species was some big large mouth nannygai, we stuck it out all day inshore fishing wonky holes and small isolated rocks in the raging current and put some nice ones on the deck for the boys despite the hard fishing conditions, mission complete and game on again tomorrow SHIMANO Australia Fishing

09.01.2022 Few nannygai from the last trip, been a bit rough for us to venture out there the last few days with the winds blowing 20+ knots and a few storms to go with it and it looks like there could be a few more days of it to come, keen to get back out there amongst it that’s for sure
