About Pete Collins

Cairns Local and Fishing Writer · Since 2016

From Cairns Marlin Marina

I'm Pete Collins, based at Cairns Marlin Marina, Queensland. I edit Reef & Rod's fishing-trip guides to answer a practical question: what are you actually booking?

I compare departure points, water type, tackle and transport inclusions, and booking terms. A stocked-farm barramundi session is not a wild-river charter; a longer offshore trip is not a promise of a catch. I use published operator details for each listing and official fisheries sources for changing rules. I do not claim to have personally fished or booked a listed trip.

How I choose what to show

A relevant Viator fishing option checked against its published operator details can earn a booking link. When I cannot confirm a suitable listing for a place, its page stays a planning guide rather than pointing you to an unrelated activity. Check the operator's live description and your local fishing rules before making a decision.
