Place to fish between Cairns and Cooktown

[Rocket01]

Hi

I'm looking for a good shore mark anywhere between Cairns and Cooktown. Any help would be appreciated

Cheers Ron.

You have the Daintree and Bloomfield rivers on the way
they both have a few landbased spots that you can get into
If you can get around the mouth of the Bloomfield River there are some nice points on the north side of Weary Bay

Rattlesnake and Oyster points they hold big barras in close this time of year and often school mackerel and blue salmon

cheers

slip into Cedar Bay and see if the hippi girls are around, even better if it is full moon party time

What bait would you recommend?

Mate, Archer point, south of Cooktown , is a top land based fishing spot, you can tangle with Coral Trout, all your Mackeral species, Queenies, Trevs etc. Lures are the go but pillies etc should be ok. It is signposted and is north of the black mountains on the way in. If you are travelling up the coast road through the Bloomfield just ask a few of the locals on the way up and they should be able to put you onto a number of spots, there are plenty !!!
