Without question the 150 mile stretch of the Great Barrier Reef between Cairns &Lizard Island provides the finest fishing in the world for very large marlin. Generally fishing is better to the north near Lizard Island early in the season. Then the main ’bite’ moves south towards the Cairns area the latter half of the season. Names like the Ribbon Reefs, Linden Bank, Agincourt, Opal Reef, St. Crispins Reef, Onyx Reef and Jenny Louise Shoals are legendary to the anglers lucky enough to have hooked into the giant marlin that populate the area.<br><br>
