Australian Sustainably Wild-Caught Reef Fish, From Boat to Plate

Welcome to the freshest seafood experience on Magnetic Island! The Maggie Fishmonger brings you premium, sustainably wild-caught reef fish straight from the Great Barrier Reef—no middleman, just a local fisherman supporting locals. It doesn’t get any fresher than this.

🌊 Catch Us at Nelly Bay Marina
Enjoy fish straight off the boat when we dock at Nelly Bay Marina! Keep an eye on our updates for the latest arrival times to get your hands on top-quality reef fish the moment it’s available.

🧊 Seafood Trailer Open Fridays & Saturdays
Find us outside Saltwater Restaurant, where we offer frozen seafood on Fridays and Saturdays. Just look for the Maggie Fishmonger trailer for a selection of the freshest local catches. Our Promise

Sustainably Wild-Caught: We fish right on the Great Barrier Reef using eco-friendly practices. Our line-caught fishing method—one fish at a time—ensures no unwanted by-catch while preserving the reef's delicate ecosystem. Plus, with our Minn Kota electric motor, we utilize spot locking instead of anchoring, which means no anchors and no damage to the reef, making our fish even more sustainable. Premium Reef Fish: Expect popular reef species like Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Goldband Snapper, and even some rare finds like Robinson Sea Bream. Order by phone or join the WhatsApp group for the freshest fish, straight from the reef to your plate! Follow us for updates on the latest catch times and arrivals.

I’m on the hunt for a keen young local fisherman that’s a gun on the camera, has a drone and camera gear and can edit to help me capture some awesome content.. as a commercial fisherman I travel to some absolutely amazing parts of the Barrier reef and see some mind blowing stuff but usually to busy working to take photos and videos and I’m allergic to computers so couldn’t edit to save my life!! 😜
I would pay for everything so you would get a free fishing trip and wouldn’t be out of pocket.. just would need to film and take photos in between fishing.. if you are a gun and prove yourself worthy after a trip or two I would throw in a bit of cash and some fish as a bonus.. trips are usually 2-3 days and whenever the weather permits so could be during the week..
If you think this is you then get in touch..

Without a doubt the toughest Australian made anchor winches period.. And the new DDX250 deep drop winch is a game changer!!
On my boat I run the GX3 drum winch and it’s absolutely the best drum winch I’ve ever owned.. I also run the new DDX 250 for for deep dropping and I’m so excited about this winch and the fish it’s going to catch me..
If your after an Australian made anchor winch, deep drop reel or long line hauler Lone Star Marine Drum Winches & Accessories are where it’s at…
