queensland Report - 1770 and Baffle Creek trip 3-6 October

[Aggro101]

Hi All, I tried to post this from my phone last week, but failed miserably. On the PC now, so here goes.

The plan was to sleep rough at 1770 for 3 nights and fish offshore. We arrived about 9.30pm, had camp set up in about 30 seconds and were straight to sleep.

Saturday morning came and unfortunately the wind was against us from the start and my boy was burlying over the side in a matter of minutes. So we went inside the mouth of the river and fished our little hearts out with no real success.

This is about all we could manage.

We persevered for Saturday and a bit of Sunday before deciding to go for a walk and have a look about. There is some great scenery from the top of the point. We went the hard way around with some rock hopping and climbing to get to the top.

After this we made a spur of the moment decision to go to Baffle Creek for the last night. We were packed and on the road in 10 minutes. After we arrived at Baffle, we had the boat in the water straight away and Jake had the first fish on board in a matter of minutes. A nice little bream, followed by several others.

A nice mix of species in the creek there, bream, grunter and Jew were all caught in the last night. Many more species in other parts of the creek apparently, so we'll have to go back and stay longer next time and chase some jacks and trevally.

That was one of the bigger jumps, it took us a few jumps to get the photo just right. We didn't have climbing gear with us, so the climbs were free climbs and therefore no photos of us mid climb. It's too hard to take pics while hanging on a cliff without safety gear. We are planning a day trip back to 1770 when we go to Baffle Creek around Christmas time with a photographer.
