Exclusive Australian Destinations for Corporate Fishing Trips

Employees often require a break from the daily hustle. A well timed expedition builds worker cohesion, confidence, motivation and organization loyalty. One of the best ways to achieve this is through a corporate fishing expedition. Australia is dotted with perfect locations. These include the Cairns, northern Queensland, and Cape York, Trinity inlet amongst others. The main fishing experience is well sorted out too, with a wide array of fishing gear available at fair prices. The following activities are available for a corporate fishing expedition.

Fly fishing has grown rapidly in the fishing sporting circles. More particularly, salt-water fly fishing has seen phenomenal growth. Recognized as one of the oldest angling methods, fly fishing simply employs deceit; you have to do is trick the fish with an offering imitating the regular food. As simple as in sounds, it requires a particular set of skills and techniques. 

Australian fish usually do not feed on insects, save for the jungle stream species. They mostly feed on smaller fish species, crabs, shrimps and prawns. The offered bait should of course be similar to these foods, in order to attract the fish. Tropical North Queensland, with its immense water bodies, offers prime locations for fly fishing. 

There is a wide array of sport fishing activities available along the Cairns region along the Great Barrier Reef. This region is particularly famous for the wide variety of fish species available. These include Spanish mackerel, dolphin fish, trevally, and wahoo, amongst others. The plankton rich waters along the reef offer a rich habitat for a wide variety of fish, which of course translates to great fishing opportunities for corporate fishing trips.

To enjoy this awesome experience, all you require is to book a charter, well serviced by experienced skippers and crew. The charters are well equipped with top quality tackle and bespoke rods. The chartered boats come with all the comforts befitting a corporate excursion; the latest electronics and gadgets including navigation equipment, location plotters, sounders, communication and safety gear. For a little extra cash, you can enjoy air conditioned saloon facilities.

The sport fishing season is from June to October, when the fish concentrates within the reef and from November to March for outside-the-reef fishing.

Heavy tackle game fishing usually involves the marlin fish. The Cairn region, widely regarded as the marlin centre of the world, has virtually unending opportunities for a corporate fishing expedition. Lizard island, all the way to south Cairn, is the prime haven for the heavy game fishing whether for the once in a lifetime corporate fishing expedition, or the frequenters in the constant search for the elusive 500kg marlin.

The main marlin fishing season kicks off in early September, when the marlin descend from the Pacific for spawning. The plankton rich, 250km stretch along the great barrier offers perfect breeding grounds for the species.

There are various options available for the corporate anglers. There is the day package, which comes with a chartered boat with experienced crew and state of the art fishing equipment, or the extended charter, available for about 5 days booking. The rates mostly vary with the number of anglers. Most charters start off at $ 395 per angler to share a charter. The numbers can go as high as $2000 for sole use of the charter vessel.
