Hinchinbrook tips appreceiated

[sambos]

:-/ Howdy all,

I,m only new to join this site though viewed often.
I,m a keen reef fisherman who has haunted the reefs off Moreton &1770 regularly.I have recently begun organising a trip with myself an several mates to Hinchinbrook on a houseboat. We will be towing tinnies behind the houseboat to fish and crab the many creek systems.As new never before fished the region wondering if anyone had any tips on which creeks fish best? Which dont?etc?
We will be going during the new moon period in may.
;D
Thanks
Rick

P.S may be room for 2 more guys. Will notify shortly if any one interested.:o

Welcome Rick ..... What end of Hinchinbrook ? .... Cardwell or Lucinda? I spent a week up at the Cardwell end (on a houseboat) a year or so ago ....... NAGG
PS I'll be spending a week at Lucinda in April8-)

Cardwell end .by looking at charts possibly missionary bay first off

Missionary bay is the go mate, plenty of creeks to explore there and usually plenty of fish !!!

Rick .... Flog the water hard (up the creeks in Missionary bay ... No"s 2,5,7 & 8 ..... & fish the tides ) If after a couple of days in the creeks you dont catch what you want to ...... get the %u@k out of there ........ & fish the channel creeks around Gayundah ..... NAGG
PS As you will have a couple of tinnies in Missionary bay ..... If weather allows .....
fish Cape Richards or Eva island of an evening8-)
