3 Days of variety in the tropics


I recently returned to Weipa for a week from the Cairns marlin season to take some clients on tour of the wilds of Weipa. A day spent offshore produced spanish mackerel, tuna, trevally etc, while the next couple of days were spent in the creeks catching barramundi, mangrove jacks, estuary cod, bream, fingermark and tangles with some unstoppable snag dwelling creatures. On the wildlife side not to much was missed with sea snakes, a couple of species of dolphins, turtles, kangaroos, pigs, box jellyfish and of course crocodiles observed at times from extremely close quarters. Pictured is "Mackerel Boy" Mike with an average sized spanish; a couple of barras for Graham and Mike; Graham with a nice jack; Peter with one of the few estuary cod which could be stopped.
