Cape York Road conditions

Hi Friar, A little disappointed on the fishing? We were up there in August last year and got a few but not heaps and was thinking if you were there this time of the year it would be much more productive particularly in the estuary around Vrilya point. I would really like to hear a bit more detail on where you fished etc, also did you have a boat?. Reading Greg Bethune's weekly report on fishnet.com.au you would think that FNQ fish que up to jump into your boat however I have a sneaking suspicion that his reports are about as realistic as Rex Hunts fishing show!

Hi Darren
I have a 12ft car topper with 15hp motor,i fished crystal creek,
1&2 ,camping on first creek past light ship for 5days,then shifted
camp back to southern side of vyrila point fishing the rocky headland
& out to sea about 1klm. I caught no barra,1 legal jack was the tally
for the trip, plenty of under sized coral trout. I have fished the cape
at false perra head,aracoon,pennyfathing,bathurst bay,lakefield,
always managed to eat plenty of fish &bring home legal amount
of barra from these spots. I will probably try crystal creek again
next year, the creeks look like they must hold fish at some time of the
year. I forgot to mention that it was very windy for the time we were
there,this could have had something to do with the fishing,also the
wife went with me for the 1st time but i can not really blame her
can I .
