Great Beach Fishing



Rod Kimberley and Jeff Birtles recently enjoyed a weeks fly fishing here in Weipa. The tides and conditions were ideal for the beaches.

Among golden trevally, queenies, giant herring, bream, blue and threadfin salmon, Rod caught this magnificent 103cm Queenfish off the beach.




A relative newcomer to the sport, Jeff caught several small queenies and lost a couple of nice Giant Herring before staying connected to this great fish. Well done!! To prove it wasn't a fluke, he then went ahead to land another 3 GH's! The tunas were also in full swing this week (along with some sharks) and the guys also were treated to a hot spanish mackerel bite one afternoon, the biggest being about 25lb.

hey we have had a look at your photographs and we reckon that your fish are not that impressive. We caught much larger fish when we were up at Weipa.

I should, however, point out that the above comment was made after a lot of beer had been consumed.

Beer can alway's tend to stretch the truth a bit?
