Hooked Up Fishing Adventures

We had a great day with Gererd. Caught some big Spanish Mackerel and other species such as coral trout and small mouth Nannygai. We had a beautiful swim on a sand cay and saw turtles which was a huge highlight. All in all a great day and would recommend.

Awesome morning out fishing with Gerard. Caught some beautiful fish and had a great chat about the history of the area. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Great day out fishing with Gererd. He was an excellent host with his knowledge of fishing and fun general banter! Took home some thumper coral trout, pinkies and sweet lips to feed us for the week.

We did a half day snorkelling trip with Gerard and had a fantastic experience. Beautiful coral and fish! Gerard was very patient with us as beginners and gave us great tips and encouragement to make the whole experience amazing. Thank you

Amazing experience. Me and my boyfriend did the full day fishing and it was fantastic. We caught loads of fish (including giant Spanish mackerel, and large coral trout) Gerard was brilliant - he was attentive and ensured we caught as much ...

Our Skipper was awesome, things were a little bit quiet. However, he kept trying to put us over some fish by continually moving positions. In the end we caught our target of Coral Trout . Thanks heaps , Gerard.

My Sparky Mates and I went on a full day charter with Gerard and had the most fantastic day. The weather was outstanding, the fishing was spot on with heaps of coral trout caught and best of all the banter between Gerard, us and another two fellas on board was non stop. We would highly recommend Hooked up Fishing Adventures when in Mission Beach. Gerard was a very professional and down to earth bloke who seemed to always be there to take your fish off or re-rig your line or even bait your hook. Thanks for the memorable day Gerard. From the Electricians.

Hands down best experience in Mission beach! 10/10 recommend. These guys know what they are doing. Me and my brother were looking to catch reef fish and some big ones, and they helped us do that and more, and we had a good yarn as well 🙂 Smooth trip all the way!

Our day with Hooked Up and Gerard at Mission Beach was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, it was clear that Gerard is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable captain but also passionate about providing his guests with the best experience possible. The fishing was outstanding—we caught an impressive variety of fish, including Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Doggies, Yellowfin Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, GTs, and Nannygai. Gerard knew all the perfect spots, and his expertise ensured that everyone on board was landing fish and having a great time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, Gerard makes it exciting and rewarding for all. One of the unexpected highlights of the trip was a magical swim at a pristine sand cay. It felt like paradise—a perfect way to cool off and soak in the beauty of Mission Beach’s incredible surroundings. Gerard’s boat, Hooked Up, was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. He also made sure we were well looked after with plenty of refreshments and good vibes all day long. This was hands-down one of the best fishing charters we’ve ever been on. If you’re looking for a fun, action-packed day on the water with a friendly, knowledgeable guide, Gerard and Hooked Up are the absolute best. Can’t wait to book our next trip—thank you, Gerard, for an unforgettable adventure!

Great morning fishing Thanks mate

Took my teenage son on a full day reef trip. We were really well look after and caught some cracking fish. Had a fantastic day with Gererd who really looked after us, particularly my son. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a great reef fishing trip.

Had an awesome day fishing with Gererd on Hooked up Fishing. Caught some great fish, enough to bring back to camp and some left over to take home to NSW. Gererd certainly knows his stuff, was informative, helpful and entertaining the whole day. The boat is great to fish from and extremely comfortable when travelling to and from the reef. Thoroughly recommend Hooked Up if you are looking for a fun day fishing.

Had an awesome day on the reef with Gererd. Great skipper and great boat. He was so good with my young fella and knew where the fish were. We got on to Spanish Mackerel, coral trout, a few reds and a heap of others. I'll be hitting him up again when in Mission beach next. Highly recommend.

Great charter experience with Gererd. Knows his stuff and put us on some great fish. Highly recommend!

What a fantastic trip. If you want to get on the fish and hook up all day these guys are the ones to see. Gerard kept on finding the fish. Our group caught keepers of six different species including Spanish mackerel, coral trout, purple cod, tomato cod, and other desirable and tasty varieties. If I could give six stars I would.
