Ersin from Sydney landed this nice Trevally on a recent fishing tour up Noosa River near Lake Cooroibah. There is good fishing throughout most the system so for hot tips ask the boys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures or simply come on a charter.

“Fishing today was unreal. Also Adam was 10 out of 10. Thank you”  Daniel

Jaylea’s licenced to take up to 13 people, but we only take a maximum of 10 people to allow plenty of room for fishing and moving around the boat. Jaylea has a brand new built in toilet with sink and running wateer, full canopy, bait board and rod holders throughout.
There’s a casting platform on the front deck and a centre console for the skipper to operate and easily spot the fish.

You can experience the Jaylea by contating Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures and enjoy a day out on the Noosa River.
