Fishing at the Cape..

[McGirr]

Better start a new thread on this for the Cape virgins ..

There is good fishing off the jetty with plenty of bait fish under it. A good size bara was caught last trip off the jetty. Martin made sure everyone in Seisa was aware he caught it by parading it up and down the beach.

The jetty is 500 mtres from our huts.

You can hire boats also and Bert , yogi , Tim and I trolled around the islands to catch 3 good size Queenie's.

You will need a good range of lures, big traces and good strong line plus a rod as there are some monster fish around.

Oh under the rules of the trip , section 7 paragraph 4 .... "All fish caught at the Cape must be shared with the main organizer and his assistants"

looking forward to it

How would you suggest carring fishing rods only the trip.
I am thinking the rod holders on the bullbar might not work, so I was going to use some PVC pipe under the tray of the ute but above the chaise.
What do you think

Rod

I used PVC piping attached to a roof rack but either way is good. The PVC piping works well.

Anyone interested?

Bert

Bert

Maybe, how much do you think?

Rod.....

[bert56]

I checked the price, $350 for 3 anglers. It is expensive if you don't catch much, cheaper to buy fish. I might just look around for somewhere to throw a line in.

Hire a tinny and fish the river, fish Cooktown jetty or the Annan river.

Mark

[jaycamrie]

i can auction off a trip in my tinny

[bert56]

Hi Jaycamrie,

What's the cost to fish the Annan river for a few hours in the morning?

Anywhere for that matter.

It doesn't matter what the cost is, count me in.

I'll try to fit a couple of crab and red claw pots in.

You will be right just jump in , there is no way the wife will let me take the kids in the boat up there and she will not be keen so have to go with some one

[bert56]

I'll gladly chip in for fuel etc.

Bert
