Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a fantastic day of guided fishing on the Fitzroy river with my two sons, Nathan worked extremely hard to get us onto some quality barramundi in very tough conditions.
I would highly recommend spending some time with Nathan not only to catch a trophy fish but his willingness to share his vast knowledge of the system and fishing was invaluable.
Thanks Nathan Rex,Hayden and Ryan.

Thanks Rex. We certainly did some kilometres that day to find the barra! But we all persisted and when a patch of feeding fish was found it was good to see the barra coming over the side. Cheers Nathan

My wife and I enjoyed two days fishing with Nathan in the Fitzroy River system. Nathan's knowledge of the area and his attention to client satisfaction was beyond what we have experienced with many other guides. We caught good size barramundi, threadfin salmon, cod, fingermark and other species. The area is amazing, besides the fish we were treated to an aerial display by the local dolphins. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will be back again.

We had an absolutely fantastic day today with Nathan our guide from Guided Fishing DownUnder. Such a professional guy a marine scientist who knows his was round the Fitzroy and put us on to many good fish. My first ever Barra and then the biggest Threadfin Salmon and to top that off I caught a second Barra, bigger than the first, totally blown away. Of course, Baden Baden Lowrie ¬ Elders Rural Real Estate Bundaberg Queensland caught one too (just one), but we highly recommend this company, we will definitely return. Thanks Nathan for a great day on the water
World class trip we highly recommend a day out with Nathan

Mid-February 2021 and yet again Jane and I enjoyed two days fishing with Nathan, and he did not disappoint. First day out of Port Alma we scored on King Threadfin and other species. Next day Nathan delivered our first taste of the Fitzroy River and some prime Barramundi including a double hook up which got the blood racing. Thanks Nathan we will be back next year.

Despite the weather Nathan made every effort to put us on to fish as well as showing us the incredible paradise in surrounding islands ... I cannot fault his enthusiasm, knowledge it was well worth the drive and taking a risk braving the weather. I will be back to get my bucket list fish ticked off . There is nothing I would change . Can only imagine how good it would be in good weather ...

Awesome two days, Nathan went above and beyond to put us on the fish. 5 great barra and a 1m Thready, plus a few other bonus species! If you have any limitations don‘t let it stop you. Nathan will more than look after you and cater the charter to your abilities and look after you the enitre time. Legendary charter and I hope to be back again!👍

Incredible experience. Nathan knows his stuff. Experience counts. Simply the best guided fishing I have done. Nathan finds trophy fish and can put you onto them. I would rate 6 stars if I could
