Went north during the September School holidays recently. Spent one of the two weeks at Old Mapoon, 85 km north of Weipa. One day we caught around 100 fish off the beach right in front of the campsite from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Mostly Queenfish before dark, Blue Salmon after. There were only 4 rods out, it was amazing. Earlier in the day I caught a Barra 105 cm among other great catches. There was plenty of fish, plenty of space to find a quiet campsite and the main area had toilets, shower and water available. The cost was $30/week per vehicle and $5/person per day, well worth the expense!!
