Norseman Sportfishing - Odin
Odin (Viking God), is a platinum 25ft sportfishing vessel ideally suited to the rigours of fishing the Great Barrier Reef. Odin is a custom sport fishing boat, built right here in Cairns by Ocean Blue Boats.
She is a 7.5m plate alloy Centre Console with all the bells and whistles. On the back, she’s powered by 2 x 150hp Mercury four stroke engines with a top speed of 40knts and a cruise speed of 25-30knts. Odin has been fitted with all the latest and greatest technology. It runs with 2 x 16inch Simrad NSS EVO3 screens, one for running a 3D Chartplotter and the other for the Sounder which has both side and down scan. She is also fitted with a Simrad Autopilot & 36v Minn Kota digital Zipwake up front which is a dynamic trim control system to always give you the perfect ride. For those fishers who love to listen to music it is also fitted with a JBL Wireless Bluetooth Sound System.
The Great Barrier Reef out from Port Douglas offers some of the best fishing in FNQ. From popper fishing for Giant Trevally to Big Red Bass, just to name a few, to throwing stick baits for Spanish Mackerel or even getting up in the shallow reefs and bombies chasing Coral Trout and other reef species on lures, is always great fun and a good arm workout!
If bottom fishing is more your thing, then you have come to the right place. Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Large & Small mouth Nannygai and all other reef species in between are found on the pristine reefs close to Port Douglas.
We also offer private half days exploring both the coastal Barrier Reef and the calm waters of our local inlets & rivers. If the winds permit, we head out to the inshore reefs chasing Trevally, Coral Trout and Nannygai etc. If the wind picks up, we head into the river. The river systems around Port Douglas can also make for some really great fishing. Grunter, Mangrove Jack, Barramundi and Fingermark are all on the cards. This option is perfect for families or those who only have a short amount of time.
