Another week of great fishing in the far north, the Barramundi started off the week on fire, a very good average size in the fish and plenty of them. There were a few good Threadfin Salmon & Mangrove Jacks about but they had to be quick if they were going to beat the Barra to the kill.

Queenfish were balled up and ready to kill, smashing everything in their path, lures and flies.

Just inbetween Cape York gigs at the moment, the last week was spent at Archer River with 6 lure fishing clients.

There was some good sight fishing for Barramundi & Threadfin Salmon on the extensive mud & sand flats. As well as some monster Queenfish held up in the river mouth. The clients all had a great week & threatened to come back again next year.

Hinchinbrook is having it’s coldest winter for some time, Barramundi are a bit slower this time of year but when you find the right conditions they are willing to eat a well presented fly or lure. Trevally & Queenfish are loving the clean fresh winter water and Tuna are showing up when the weather permits. Back to Cape York again this week the winter fishery their is probably one of the best times of year, a greater variety of species and a very comfortable climate.

Until next week, Dave.
