Anglers at Cape York enjoy some of the worlds best sportsfishing with the abundance of species and eco-systems. Fishing is always dependant on weather and moon phase and John’ extensive experience means you will be fishing in the best place at the best time. John Charlton has been fishing Cape York since 1980. That means a whole lot of moon phases, winds, tides and currents!

Fishing Cape York Peninsula offers anglers unmatched variety. During your Cape York Fishing holiday you can:

Fully Guided
This is a fully guided tropical sport fishing holiday where every guest receives individual attention; from the mad keen angler through to the novice and our location gives anglers the opportunity to fish a different area every day. Located at Seisia, near the tip of Cape York, we have the unique opportunity to fish three distinct areas the north east coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria, the Torres Strait and the eastern tip of Cape York coast. We fish pristine rivers, wilderness coastline, and nearby coral fringed islands for a great tropical sportsfishing experience.
Tackle
John uses the best quality braid and tournament line to provide guests the capacity to land the big one. Terminal tackle is also sourced for its quality to handle the conditions of tropical sportsfishing. Lures are sourced based on results. John also uses a variety of fishing techniques to maximise angling opportunities: lure casting, live baits, trolling lures and baits, strip baits, reef fishing, live baiting, burley and handlines.
Talk to John about the best time for your visit; moon phase and currents do affect the fishing, and John still has some of the best fishing time available for 2012.
