North Queensland SportFishing Holidays

Russell and Annalies Player, owners of Boomerang SportFishing and operators of the MV Boomerang, have over 20 years local fishing experience. Our young and energetic team know sportfishing and how to make your trip a memorable one.

MV Boomerang II operates in the Cairns area up to Princess Charlotte Bay, 160 kilometres north of Cooktown and adjacent reefs and into the rivers of the Lakefield National Park.

For estuary, reef and light game sportfishing, your expedition on the MV Boomerang II begins in Cairns with a scenic 1 Hour flight over World Heritage Rainforests and Reefs to Princess Charlotte Bay on the East Coast of Cape York.

Live aboard sportfishing trips are tailored around prevailing tides & weather conditions – so if you want seven days of sun, fishing and thrills then Boomerang SportFishing is for you.

2007 Update: Overall the 2007 season was a good fishing year. Early on there was plenty of big Barra and King Salmon, and some record Fingermark on our inshore spots. Mackerel, Tuna, Queenfish, Trevally and Coral trout were prevalent in the May, June period, with plenty of big fish around. The later months of Sep / oct proved the best months for quality Nannygai and Mackerel, as these species were around in good numbers and size. The barra came on as the water warmed up, with a boat record fish of 120cm being landed. After the big wet of 06 the mudcrab were still a little quiet but numbers should improve for the coming season. So if SportFishing is your number one thrill and you'd like to be fishing Princess Charlotte Bay on the beautiful MV Boomerang, make sure you book your holiday with Boomerang Sport Fishing.
