Cairns Catch a Crab Tours are a very informative fun company to have a half day adventure with. My two sons and I went on the afternoon cruise up Trinity Inlet with Tony, a colourful local with a real passion for his job and a mischievous sense of humour! The cruise is onboard a spacious, twin hulled boat which takes you down the beautiful calm waters of the Inlet.  This area showcases the abundance of bird life in the Tropical North. We were even treated with a rare sighting of a 2 metre plus crocodile sunning itself on the banks of the river!! We located the crab pots and hauled in the prized bounty! Plenty of crab for everybody! While Tony set to preparing the meal, we were all given our fishing gear and began our own hunt. There were plenty of Toad (Puffer) Fish which are always fun to have a look at. The prize catch of the day was the Mangrove Jack, and Trevally as well as my catch and release Grunter (well below legal size unfortunately, so back he went)! The Mangrove Jack and Trevally were then cute sashimi style and presented along with the beautiful and oh so fresh Mud Crabs, salad and fresh fruit! A Delicious meal fit for a King!

This was a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon sure to be enjoyed by all!

  My boys croc spotting

 Mr & Mrs Douglas wanted to go fishing. The weather conditions were absolutely fantastic so I organized a full day reef fishing on the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns. They had a wonderful time and were so happy that they came back with a massive coral trout for me.

Coral trout are beautifully marked, robust, predatory reef fish of tropical waters. Many consider the coral trout with its firm, very white and delicately-flavoured flesh with fine flakes and low oil content to be one of the finest table fish in Australian waters. It is highly-prized and highly-priced on the eastern seaboard and in south-east Asia.

And I know how I will have it : Grilled on the BBQ with lemon. Delicious!
