Bramston Beach House

Since the township of Cairns is strategically positioned in the part of Australia that has easy accessibility to the world renowned Great Barrier Reef, a lot of tourists and locals most especially have become more and more engaged in reef fishing, which is also known as bottom bouncing. It has been a favorite past time among locals and nowadays, visiting tourists are developing a keen interest in this exciting sport s

Anglers, as these fisher folks commonly call themselves, are leaning more towards joining chartered trips instead of going on solo missions. These trips depart in groups and usually meet up in designated marinas depending on the location of their preferred fishing spots. There are vessels that accommodate day trips, which are called Share Day Charters and joining parties meet up at Cairns and Port Douglas. For the more serious anglers, extended charters make use of larger vessels and explore the more remote places around the island. For instance, the Coral Sea Adventures charter travels around the northern tip of the Great Barrier Reef and the secluded regions of Cape York by means of the motor vessel called Doreen Too. On the other hand, the MV Boomerang II caters to the 7-day non-stop Cape York fishing escapade, with a side trip to the regions of the Princess Charlotte Bay. These charters are also designed to outfit the needs of each angler depending on the type of reef fishing that they would want to participate in to.

Game fishing, sport fishing, and lure and fly fishing are the three kinds of reef fishing that can be explored in Cairns. Each kind targets specific species of fish since the kind of tackle used in each category varies in relation to the fish’s size and difficulty. The elusive Black Marlin is the primary target of those who are into game fishing. Cairns is acknowledged as the world’s top gamefishing zone and in addition to that, North Queensland is said to be the world’s Black Marlin capital. Heavy tackles are employed to make sure that this powerful marine animal does not escape once it is hooked. Other fishes like the Red Emperor and Coral Trout are also pursued. On the other hand, light tackles are used to seize the smaller kinds like Spanish mackerels, yellowfin tunas, mahi-mahis, barracudas, scaly mackerels, and wahoos. Sportfishing on the Cairns division of the Great Barrier Reef can certainly be promising. And lastly, the kind of intensity that fresh or salt water fly fishing brings about has made the North Queensland an internationally celebrated spot for this kind of activity. In most mangrove expeditions, landing a catch on the silver barramundi has been the most coveted goal.

Once the trips are concluded, anglers usually either take their freshest catch to a local restaurant to have them barbecued or grill it themselves. If you’re planning on doing the latter, it would be a great idea to do the cooking in a five-star beachfront accommodation where modern appliances are available for the visitors’ usage. The Bramston Beach House is located a few minutes drive from Cairns and can be easily accessed via the Bruce Highway. After a tiring day of fishing, spending the night over at this luxurious home is the perfect thing to do. You can relax on the patio and prepare sumptuous dishes using the fruits of your labour while enjoying the picturesque view of the Bramston Beach. To get there, turn off at the Bramston Beach Road at Mirwinni, make a right turn at Evans Road then drive
