if you go to
Cape Leveque, take a trip to One Arm point, you go through town past the store and up beside the
airstrip, you will find nice safe large rocks to fish off, now you can only fish at the turn of the tide so you must get the local tide time, high tide is the best, MASSIVE amounts of water is channeled through there going in and out of the sound (
Derby) so it also has VERY fast and strong currents, yes it is safe but only as safe as you are so be very sensible, crocs are there and so are very big
sharks but also very big fish of all kinds, queenies that will move so quick they will snap a 40 pound line even with low set drag, the speed of attack is awsome and they are HUGH ....
The channel itself is an awsome sight to see at the change of tides with whirlpools developing and on the big tides you can hear it roar up to 15klms away on still nights, an awsome sight and sound....
But here comes the "disclamer" ............
You MUST, MUST, MUST, MUST, MUST, MUST
check BEFORE you travel up there as you may need permission, i dont think you can
camp up there, camping only at the Cape
camp.... it was a long time ago i was there and i lived up there so i was able to go to
places you can and probally will never be able to go to.... awsome spot so i do hope you can still get there eh..
Cheers
Joe
