Guide – Simon Fitzpatrick

Fishing has been my number one passion for as long as I can remember. I have always been fascinated with the underwater world and fishing is how I connect with it. Throughout my life I have fished up and down the east coast of Australia chasing everything from trout to marlin. My interest has motivated me to gain a science degree majoring in fisheries and aquaculture management. I have worked many years in tourism as a kayak/rafting guide and as a barra fishing guide  in Far North Queensland. Today it is our Australian freshwater native fish that continues to capture my attention.

Come join me on a charter chasing the tenacious Australian bass in one of the most beautiful and pristine river systems in Australia. The bass here are fat, healthy and pound for pound one of the hardest pulling fish you will encounter. Fish from our customized Quintrex boat or our specially equipped Native Watercraft kayaks.  Book your fishing charter at the Charter Bookings page today or feel free to call me for more information on 0409 760 380 or email northernriverssportfishing@gmail.com

Guide – Michael ‘Harry’ Davey

When it comes to fishing, nothing beats local knowledge and our New England fishing guide, Michael ‘Harry’ Davey, has plenty of it. Harry has been a fishing guide in his local town of Tenterfield for more than 10 years. Harry specializes in accessing remote fishing locations and ‘un-pressured’ fisheries that have limited access. Catching vibrant brightly coloured green and gold fish from the clear waters among this Aussie bush land, is an experience not to be missed.

Harry now offers fishing charters to individuals, school groups (fishing workshops) and NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) participants.

Harry is fully qualified and experienced:

– Working with children checks & police checks

– First Aid & CPR trained

– Trained Fishcare Volunteer.

Harry specializes in targeting Australian freshwater natives on fly and lure. Australia’s biggest freshwater fish – the Murray cod grows to epic proportions in this region and fish over 20kg (45lb) can be encountered. For bookings & inquiries call/text 0409 760 380 or email northernriverssportfishing@gmail.com
