THECAPTAINS
World recognised as a marlin fishing Captain
on the Great Barrier Reef Capt Trent
Visscher’s proven results and passionate
dedication to marlin fishing along with
tournament wins and world record captures
have made Trent one of the young guns on
the Great Barrier Reef highly rating him as
an outstanding Captain in the Cairns Fleet .
Captain - Trent Visscher
Adam’s interest for game fishing began 12 years
ago fishing the Newcastle and Port Stephens waters
for black, striped and black marlin. His need to
catch the illusive 1000lb black marlin and the
opportunity 8 years ago to do a trip north to Cairns
for the Giant Black Marlin Season from September to
December got the former rugby league player
hooked on big game fishing! His passion for his new
sport and for boats made the decision for Adam to
purchase the 43ft O’Brien Iona in 2005.
