PRINCESS CHARLOTTE BAY
This enormous Bay is located approximately 500 kms N.W. of Cairns and is largely protected from prevailing S.E. Tradewinds. the Bay has a large number of river systems draining into it and offers every type of fishing with a radius of 40 miles. Because of the remote nature of this area it hasn't been subjected to the fishing pressures that places closer to major population centres have been. This is truly a light tackle sportsfisherman's heaven, everything from superb Barramundi fishing in the waterways running into the Bay to light tackle game fishing on the nearby reefs for the Giant Trevally, Tuna, Mackerel, etc. Uninhabited tropical islands and deserted sand cays dot the turquoise blue waters offshore to complete this idyllic setting. Delicious prawns and succulent mudcrabs are abundant and so too are the big rock oysters, combined with fresh fish you catch daily they will provide seafood banquets fit for a king.
