A regular client and friend Charlie Taylor decided he needed a fishing fix before the festive season hit, he packed a handfull of fly rods and headed up to Hinchinbrook.

We hit the flats of Hinchinbrook in search of well anything really and found almost everything we wanted. The water colour and clarity was excellent and most of the fish played the game. Nearly every fish of the trip was sight cast to.
The last day we had a few good shots at Permit, with one miss bite and another last minute refusal, never mind these other critters and many more made it all worth while.

10 species for the trip with some awesome sights on the flats, a big Queensland Grouper crusing in three feet of water, a 10kg Giant Trevally sight cast to in 18 inches of water and glamorous sights on the flats of Dunk Island.

Good fishing and a merry Christmas to everyone.

Summer is here in the tropical north, temps are rising, storms are busting at the seems and the wet season threatens, talk is of an early wet season but we’ll have to wait and see.
The busy end of the charter season has been and gone, the fishing is still very good this time of year. Most of the avid anglers are heading home to partake in family holidays.

A few charters are booked in through the Xmas- New Year period so I will continue putting up a few posts. Shannon and I will also be doing the DVD work he’s been wanting to do for a while.

Now is a good time to get a booking in for next year, many regulars already have, and with the chance of another good wet season the fishing again will be very good.

Next year we can easily look after a party of up to 8, fishing 2 anglers per boat, dates will be limited as they already are filling up.

Diashi, a young keen Japanese angler on his 3rd trip to Hinchinbrook and Jake, my son, at 18 months a young fisherman in the making, well if you can get him away from the sand !!

Good fishing, Dave Bradley
