queensland Fishing And Camping Sth Stradbroke Island

[tugger]

Went camping over the weekend at North Currigee camp ground on South Stradbroke island got there Friday morning and left midday Sunday. The wind was up most of the weekend so no offshore fishing but the seaway and broadwater were the go to for fishing.

Friday after setting up camp we went fishing down in the seaway after finding small live yakkas. 1st drop for both my deckies was a double hook up on jew after a quick measure both jew were just under size so back they went to swim another day.

We dropped another couple of jew then the tide started and they went quiet time to head back to camp. The arvo was spent greeting more crew and having a few coldies and beach fishing.

That night we sat around the fire it has been a while with fire bans for nearly 6 months. Saturday was windier and only the young lads went fishing fishing , off the pontoon was easier for me.

Saturday night was another top night around the camp fire after dinner. It turned out just some good camping with mates top spot and I will be going there again.

Sunday morning we had some showers after an early morning storm but we were well protected. We all left together around midday planning the next camp back there will be easy.

Hi tugger

There are some nice jewies there, it's a pity they were just undersize

Did you get anything fishing from the beach or the jetty too?

Looks like a very nice camping trip

Good times @tugger. Was it busy there? Do you have much space around you?  I have been thinking about camping spots to take Mrs Scaley that are easy to get to in the tinny but still quiet enough to relax and that is one place I was thinking of.

We had the place to ourselves I reckon as long as you don't do school holidays or long weekends the facilities were excellent good clean shower and toilet blocks.

Maybe somewhere I could try for a Scout Camp, I s'pose it would probably be pretty crowded any time I could make it though

You can only reach it by boat so I don't think it gets to busy

Hey tugger

Alright, that sounds better. Do the campsites cost much or are they free/public use?

Nice one Mark, looks a good spot and a bit of an upgrade to another island we may or may not have camped on previously ........  Is that Rob (NoName) in the blue shirt?
