Fingal /Tweed River

[jeffrey_h]

HI All

We're going down to Fingal Caravan Park 4th July to 12th July, just that week.
We have a Cruise Craft Seametre 6mt half cabin.

Keen to go outside for some decent fish but would be great to go out with others!

Anybody going there or live in the area who are planning some fishing trips during that week?

On the other hand I would like to travel up the Tweed as far as we can, when it's to windy to go out, has any-body done that and how far is suitable? At least one night on the water, stop off where-ever. Murwillumbah is 14 nm, maybe nothing above that?

Cheers

Jeffrey

Mate ,
not to sure what your asking, but there is a few spots off the Tweed that are worth a fish, same for the Tweed river.
If you want some more details give me a pm and I'll see what I can sort out for ya.

If you need a deckie while your here I'm keen

Thanks Andrew,

The main ask is to have a second boat for safety reasons.

I have seen those marks and have some others. I have not been outside the Tweed before only out off Moreton Bay.

Deckies would be great, it will just be my son and I as the wife would not go out if not calm, though we are NON-Smokers.

I know how short a week is so hope to get out often.

Sorry mate don't have a boat yet although I hope to get one shortly but will not be ready for a trip before you come down.

though we are NON-Smokers........ that leaves me out as I still have not kicked the habit yet

You could try the going fishing section and ask for a tag along boatie

Jeffrey,

I fished outside last Sunday but was pretty slow - has been some good reports of Snapper from Fidos recently though.

Fished inside the Tweed on Monday and managed to find a few decent Flatties, but the river is still quite dirty with plenty of fresh (and large floating debris) still in the river. Fished up river as far as Stott's Island but had better results down river. It should clean up by the time you are down here though if we don't get too much rain in between.

I would think you shouldn't have any problems getting to M'bah in your boat, especially on the rising tide. I have been up river as far as Condong and can't think of any areas you would have trouble with - in the daylight anyway.

yep I've been up as far as the bridge at condong as well, no probs. been told you can still travel a bit further, but not much.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Brought a Para Anchor and reef anchor kit and still working on fixing all the little things to the boat setup that will make life easy.

Got a 85 lt f/g ice box, should be big enough.

Talk to you soon Andrew
