Plan Your May Fishing Trip
If you’re considering a fishing adventure in Cairns, May is hard to beat. With excellent weather, diverse species, and reliable conditions, it’s a prime opportunity to make the most of your time fishing in Cairns.

With improved weather comes a surge in fish activity. May is known for its diversity, giving anglers plenty of chances to catch a range of local species like queenfish, school mackerel, small stripeys, threadfin salmon, grunter, trevally and the elusive barramundi

Tidal movement plays a key role, so planning trips around tide changes, particularly early mornings and late afternoons can significantly improve catch rates.

School holidays are the perfect time to slow down, get outside, and enjoy some simple, budget-friendly family time together. And few activities tick all the boxes quite like fishing.

Whether you’re new to it or just looking for an easy day out, fishing is one of the most affordable ways to keep the kids entertained while creating memories that last well beyond the holidays.

🌞 Why Fishing is Perfect for Families

Fishing doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. With just a few basics, rod and some bait. You’re all set for a great day out.

Kids love the excitement of waiting for a bite, and even if the fish aren’t biting, there’s still plenty of fun to be had exploring nature, spotting wildlife, and enjoying time together outdoors.

💡 Tips for an Easy Family Fishing Day

• Keep gear simple – grab a Pedro’s Palm Cove Fishing Pack.
• Use easy bait like prawns, squid or pilchards
• Choose calm, safe fishing spots suitable for kids, jettys and piers are recommended
• Pack snacks, water, hats, and sunscreen
• Don’t focus only on catching fish – make it about the experience

🐟 Best Times to Go

Early mornings and late afternoons are usually the most productive times

For local fishing timing and conditions, tools like the Fishing Reminder almanac can also help you plan your trip for better chances of success.

🌊 Create Holiday Memories That Stick

The best part about family fishing isn’t just what you catch—it’s the laughs, the stories, and the time spent together away from screens and busy routines.

So this school holiday, grab a Pedro’s Fishing Pack and enjoy some simple, affordable family fishing fun.

Well, what a year it’s been! Business has been a little tough to say the least.
I’m sure the recent flooding event is still fresh for many local residents.
However, one step at a time we continue to move forward. Working with Tourism Trinity Beach and Advance Palm Cove have provided a breath of fresh air. We are feeling positive about the future of tourism at the Northern Beaches for this and upcoming seasons.

Ok, so apart from reversing camera, ventilation and signage, the trailer is fully kitted out with kayaks, kayak equipment, stinger suits and fishing gear! it’s well balanced and tows beautifully.

Hope to see you at the beach soon!
