| Welcome to the home of "Billabong Sport Fishing". We cater for all types of fishing. Far North Queensland offers a diverse range of fishing, from wading in a rainforest creek, fly-fishing native fresh water fish, to muscling blue water pelagrics. The most sought after sport fish is the Barramundi, which is our specialty. Nothing beats drifting casting lures and flies at our large range of tropical sports fish in the north's premier location, the Hinchinbrook Channel. Dave Bradley has lived in the Tully area the majority of his life , he has been lure and flyfishing the regions waters for the past 14 years. This type of fishing is not only a very exciting way to fish but also very productive method for capturing the area's prime sportsfish. Dave's knowledge of the area is one that only can be achieved by living and fishing in the region for a considerable time , this allows the best possible fishing trip regardless of tides or weather. The current president of the Mission Beach Game Fishing Club and govener of the local Fish Stocking Society keeps him in the know with local activities and fishing reports. The fishstocking program is working well in the local rivers , stocking 40 000 barramundi fingerlings each year into the local waterways. Dave is in his 5th season guiding in 2002, also working on northern gameboats for experience skippers, Kim Andersen and Barry Cross. Most of Dave's guiding experience is from the local area with some short periods on the Cape York's west coast. Tying flies commercially as well as for our use keeps Dave busy on those rainy days, fishing the norths Billfish and Barra touraments are an important part of R and D for our guide keeping up on the new developments . The team has many wins and places under their belt.
