Charter fishing within Townsville’s diverse and fish-rich waters demands a versatile, comfortable and dedicated fishing platform.
Fish City is a custom built and surveyed 5.6m centre console vessel and is equally capable in shallow estuary waters as it is in North Queensland’s deeper reef and shoal waters.
Maximum angler capacity is a comfortable 3 and allows anglers to test their skills within open waters (up to 15nm (27km) beyond land and partially smooth waters as well as within popular creeks rivers and larger estuaries.
This small sportfishing boat capability can find anglers tangling with anything from shoal dwelling red emperor and coral trout one day, and casting lures along a shallow mangrove bank in search of barramundi the very next.
Fish City is a comfortable open vessel with fore and aft casting decks, built in live fish well and accessories include 24v bow mount electric motor, electric and manual downrigger, outriggers, Humminbird sonar/GPS and Lowrance communications.
While utilising all possible space for fishing purposes, there remains more than ample dry and cold/wet storage.
THE LOCATION:
TOWNSVILLE, NORTH QUEENSLAND
Enjoy the best fishing charter opportunities that Townsville and tropical North Queensland have to offer with the added bonus of breathtaking backdrops including Magnetic Island, the Palm Island group and World Heritage listed Hinchinbrook Island.
Meanwhile, the fish rich waters of Bowling Green Bay – and the creeks and rivers within – promise an angling adventure not easily forgotten. Potentially, a fish of a lifetime awaits your very next cast!
The FISH
Our most popular species include arguably Australia’s premier sportfish, the barramundi. Or chance a cast for a jack or fingermark, equally challenging and great on the plate!
Bluewater anglers also enjoy casting surface lures for GT, queenfish and cobia. Northern bluefin or longtail tuna are speedsters that will also test your skills!
Meanwhile, quality table fish such as red emperor, coral trout and Spanish mackerel are also plentiful in Townsville waters.
And should you want to try something different, perhaps walk a mountain stream in search of exotic and challenging jungle perch, barra, jacks and tackle testing sooty grunter!
