The question is, just how good is the fishing at Port Warrender (it must be amazing surely) and how can it be worth that much more effort to go there rather than Honeymoon Bay or Wyndham or Kununurra or One Arm Point or one of those other tame places?

The background to the question: I was battling back down the track from a visit to scenic Port Warrender and Walsh Point on the Mitchell Plateau a few weeks ago when we came a cross a couple of well prepared blokes in utes - Cruiser or Patrol I don't recall, but they were both towing reasonable sized boats.

The track was not for the faint-hearted - massive wash-aways. On one hill the road was so washed away you had to battle up the hill through a couple of wheel marks made out in the grass, dodging trees and rocks hidden under the wet season's grass.

Anyways, I told these blokes about the state of the road, and they said (I'll summarise) - "know all that - we came up here last week, but broke a spring on one of the boats and had to go back to Kalumburu to get it fixed".

Now the Kalumburu road itself was in a pretty bad state, but clearly these guys liked their fishing.

Cheers
