Australia offers many opportunities for the big game
fly fisherman. From June to September large numbers of juvenile
Black Marlin and Sailfish congregate inside the Barrier Reef between
Cairns and Townsville. These fish offer anglers the best opportunity
for landing Marlin on fly in the world. The action can be red hot
with up to 20 shots a day.
The New Moon crew are all experienced saltwater fly
fishermen and have caught many billfish on fly. In addition we are
one of the few boats equipped with a full selection of fly rods and
reels, flies, custom gaffs etc.
Our
achievements in this field include 2 IGFA world records, back to
back wins in the International Black Marlin Fly Tournament, worlds
only triple fly slam and the most marlin on fly in a day(5). In
addition Kim has himself been champion angler at the Penn
international Sailfish Fly Tournament in Broome. |

There are basically two periods and areas of
when to fly fish.
June
to September - Juvenile Black Marlin and Sailfish off Cairns in
June to September and Cape Bowling Green in September
September to December - Medium to as large as you can
imagine Black Marlin outside the reef between Cairns and Lizard
Island.
