Marlin game fishing Cairns bait & tackle

Heavy, medium and light handlines are the favoured "tools of the trade" amongst most of the reef fishermen, although rods and reels have their place also.

Baits of pilchard, squid and fish flesh are most commonly used.

Underwater shoals and reefs are located with prominent fish holding features, whereupon the anchor is set and the baits lowered to the bottom dwelling species below.
