The GT fishing, jigging, flyfishing and general sportfishing on our Jewell Reef trips is conducted from our 80ft Mothership and 2 x 36ft sportfishers, as well as our range of 18-25ft centre consoles. We cater for a maximum of 12 anglers fishing between 3 vessels at any one time, and these trips are run as part of our Coral Sea Ultimate Adventures schedule. The only difference between this location and the other Coral Sea Ultimate adventures trips is the departure point, being Lizard Island.
The fishing for GTs spanish mackerel, coral trout, dogtooth tuna and red bass is superb in these areas. Big GTs, up to 50kgs, and lots of them can be expected while popper fishing, and spanish mackerel around 25kgs are a common catch. Deep jigging the outer edge of the northern barrier reef also produces lots of doggies between 30-70kgs. That's not to mention the incredible action for giant black marlin, and the fact that we caught 280 GT's in a week during our 2007 visit.
Lizard Island is the pickup and drop off point for these trips, as you'll spend most of your trip fishing around the Jewell Reef complex, starting around 35 miles north of Lizard Island. On many of the reefs we visit, you'll be amongst the first to ever cast a popper. There is just so little activity up there, and the fishing is what you would expect in this type of area.
Due to the use of our mothership, we can access the reefs to the north of Lizard Island, such as Jewell Reef, where other smaller boats just can't access due to lack of fuel and facilities. The facts are that this area is in a completely pristine condition, and from what we saw in 2007, the fish there have never seen lures before.
The Jewell Reef Ultimate Adventure trips are based on a 5 day/6 night package, and depending on the schedule, you will get 5 full days fishing, and 2 part days as well, making a total of 6 days fishing.
