Re: Destination: Cape York
Just back from a week on a houseboat at Weipa with 9 others.
A fabulousness experience ,it's a different world up there.
Around 20 species caught with numerous bustoffs of critters we never got to see,I was seriously out gunned a lot of the time but it didn't matter,the excitement was intense. Great fish feeds,cold beers ,lots of stingies and biteies,sharks,crocs ,sea snakes you name it. Would not have missed it.
This was second trip to the Top End,last one at King Ash Bay near Boroloola.
If you ever get the opportunity grab it, unforgettable stuff.

To find a fish
You do the miles.
Catch the fish
and earn the smiles.
Lord,allow me to catch a fish, so large that even I,when speaking of it afterwards.........May have no need to lie !!!

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing

Re: Destination: Cape York
There's nothing like taking your own gear and landing some good fish on it.
Good luck on the trip mate. Take lots of photos only way we can get in on the excitement too.
Or just take pat with you and let him do the report hahahahah..
Cheers
