Going to 1770/Agnes Water, tips please

[FishHunter]

I have booked a house for a week in the beginning of March as my dad is coming over for a visit from saffa land and has always wanted to go to the Great Barrier Reef.
Lady Musgrave island is obviously a definite, weather permitting. any other good spots for snorkelling/fishing?
Spots for a feed and beer as well if anybody knows some good ones.

Fitzroy lagoon would be good for a snorkel and a swim, its a beautiful place up there!

Just don't do it with a pocket full of bait......those reef sharks really school up quite quickly!!!!

I didnt realize i knew anyone stupid enough to do that...

I would suggests you take extra fuel and food, because your not going to want to leave !!!

So much ground to fish and so little time.

Cheers

PS. The sharks only take little bites !!!

I believe tonight's phone call would have been quite indicative of my stupidity!!!

With the snorkeling thing I'd definitely go to Fitzroy Lagoon....tie up to a mooring and knock yourself out.There is so much life around those bommies it's ridiculous.
When it comes time for a feed and a beer I don't think you can go past the Agnes Tavern......

Hey Fish Hunter, another good spot for a short trip is Bustard Head and Pancake creek. There is coral in the creek that you can snorkel.
Type or copy this into to google earth for Fitzroy Lagoon. 23 36'53.74s 152 10'01.17e

65km at 25deg from Round Hill or 40km NNW of Musgrave.

There is a lot of info in the above site and there really is a lot to do at Agnes Water / 1770.

Do your own thing or.

Take the big cat out to Musgrave and snorkel / fish for the day, with them providing all services.

Take the LARK to Bustad Head for a great day exploring, all services provided.

The Eco-Kayak adventures are a great way to see the estuary and headland.

There are a number of day charters to scratch the reef fishing itch.

Quad bike adventures, Mini-Bikes, push bikes, golf, Bowls, 4 x 4 in National Parks, Museum, Places of interest are some distractions.

There are also places just outside town, like the Lavender Park....

Yes, there is the Tavern, which has sxpecial event nights, like Pool and Mechanical Bull Riding at different times of the year and usually have live entertainment on Friday nights.

There is the Captains Creek Community Hall that hosts great food on Thursday and Friday nights, with Red Emporer and chips for $12 being a special !!

Kahunas Bar serves great pizzas, The Surf Club does meals and cold beer and we must not forget The Tree, at 1770 for a cold beer to watch the sun set over water....

There is more............ Rules Beach, Baffle Creek, Eurimbula National Park with it's many creeks, Deep Water National Park with it's many rocky headland fishing spots and pre-historic, limited access creek, Pancake Creek and of course, landbased fishing from " The Catwalk ".

Even though you are not there at this time.... http://www.letsconnect.com.au/1770/1770festival-pp2.htm

Enjoy
