Shannon and I had the GLoomis boys at Hinchinbrook for a couple of days, Graham Todd, Adam Burzacott, Ross Johnson and Ken Stein.

The guys were up in the north doing some instore demos and information evenings and we organised to get them out on the water for a couple of days to try out some of that new product. Someone’s got to do it !!!

Ross and Ken were keen to do some flyfishing, particularly sightfishing, Golden Trevally, Barramundi and Threadfin Salmon were on the target list and we covered that pretty well on the first day, switching teams on the second day Shannon got the boys onto another few patches of fish with Goldens, Giant Trevally and Cobia all mixed in.

Graham and Adam found the Barramundi a little slower with the neap tides but ended up with some nice fish. Jacks, Fingermark, Barramundi, Cod and Javelin fish

September is a busy time of year for a Hinchinbrook guide.

Barramundi start becoming very active and the weather is generally quiet good, well this September so far the weather has been “glamor”

I’ve had some fun trips with great crew, Ian, Adam & Mick from NSW made their second trip to Hinchinbrook and had a blast. Andy and Amanda from the USA had a few days around Hinchinbrook that made them want to relocate to our part of the world.

ET (Andrew Ettingshausen) and a group of his mates made Port Hinchinbrook home for a week to fish the Hinchinbrook Big Fish Classic, we managed a heap of daily prizes, took out the Threadfin Salmon trophy and got pipped at the post by 6 grams for the biggest Barramundi trophy, yes 6 grams !!! By a team that caught one Barramundi for the event. That’s Fishing

A day on the water Fly & lure fishing with Shannon our new guide was a blast we fished in a couple of feet of water all day sightfishing all sorts of Hinchinbrook critters, stay tuned for the DVD.

Very busy through until the middle of November after that there is some availability if you need a bit of fishing therapy.

Good fishing,
Dave Bradley
