Rivers

The rivers have been producing good-sized barra and jacks on both live baits and lures. A lot of ''PBs'' have been broken over the last few weeks. We haven't had to many opportunities to get offshore because of the weather, although when we have, the fishing has been great. Plenty of tuna and Spanish mackerel. I will to try to put a few more offshore pics up next week!!

Time Out

Hi people!!!! Just had  a small window of opportunity to go fishing for a couple of days with a mate, so I took it!

We packed the boat and headed off camping - the fishing was great with plenty of big barra!!

Fly Fishing

Tom and Michael came to Weipa hoping to catch a few fish on fly. They have caught plenty in fresh water, but up until now have never experienced saltwater fly-fishing. The 3 days they just experienced were as good as it gets - perfect weather and fish everywhere. Along the beaches we sight-fished to goldens, queenies, brassy trevally, tea leaf, and Kahle Kahle to name a few. Offshore the tuna were thick, and in one morning session the boys landed 11 tuna on fly between them!!!!

Rod and Sandy

Just finished 6 days fishing with Rod and Sandy Kimberly. The week produced a real mixed bag of entertainment - offshore was alive with longtail and mackeral tuna - we caught them on fly, on the troll and casting slugs. Rod also managed to catch his first sailfish after teasing him up on a pusher and switching over to garfish. The beaches were good for a couple of days until a large westerly swell pushed in. The first morning on the beach we caught 60 or so fish on fly. It was pretty much a fish a cast - brassy trevally, Golden trevally, tea-leaf trevally, khale khale trevally and plenty of Queenies on the popper flies.

The creeks produced quite a few solid barramundi, with plenty between 60 and 70cm, the biggest going 78cm.  We caught them on top-water lures, live bait, and fly. The salmon were on the chew as well, and we racked up around 15 each day, mostly blues, with a few nice king salmon in the mix as well.
