About Angling Adventures

Australia offers the adventurous angler world-class fishing for a staggering variety of spectacular sportfish, many of which can be caught all year round.

While the sheer size of Australia and the spell-binding remoteness of its fish rich waters have attracted the interest of many travelling anglers, these same factors have also confused the visitor looking for specific information about where to go and catch particular species.

ANGLING ADVENTURES and Australia's national airlines have for many years taken anglers to some of this country's most unique and specialised fishing areas. ANGLING ADVENTURES provides anglers with that all important ingredient of local knowledge, which is the strength of our success. We deal with the best people in the best locations and we provide fishing tours for the high-tech specialist as well as for the average angler who wants to enjoy a good fishing holiday.

This travelling fisherman's guide details a range of destinations you can choose from, and we invite you to Fish Australia with ANGLING ADVENTURES for some of the most exciting fishing in the world.

The Great Barrier Reef in North Queensland produces giant Black Marlin, and the light-tackle billfish grounds of Cape Bowling Green near Townsville have yielded many Sailfish or Marlin per charter boat per day per season. While the glamour of chasing Marlin captures the imagination of most people, anglers visiting Queensland are presented with the angling challenges of a wide range of tropical speedsters such as Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Mackerel (Tanguigue), and many species of Trevally (Jacks) and Tuna. Even on billfish charters you can encounter other species like huge Dogtooth Tuna and many species of sharks. The Top-End of Australia is home to that premier sportfish, the Barramundi (Lates calcarifer).

Visiting bass fishermen from the Northern Hemisphere find Barramundi a worthy opponent on fly and plug-casting gear, just as keen Australian anglers do. Sharing these food-rich waters with the Barra are over 40 other species of lure-crunching, flymunching Aussie sportfish. Some, like Queenfish and Threadfin Salmon, are spectacular jumpers also.

Moving to the southern part of Australia, you can find a very good stock of both Rainbow and Brown Trout, which range from tiddlers in tiny streams to 10 pound plus Brown Trout in our large southern lakes. Offshore, along the New South Wales Coast, the marlin fishing over the past 6 years or so has been very consistent and at many times spectacular to say the least. Fly fishing anglers have also enjoyed the abundant numbers of billfish and have arrived from all parts of the world.
