queensland Hiking The Rainforest Creeks In Search Of Jps

[pancakes_and_haggis]

Hi guys

And month also ago when the weather was her you windy up here for long period i know decided to get into hiking the rainforest creek in search of jungle perch.

I have been fishing around the tully gorge and mission beach area mostly but some of the fish have come from creeks around cape tribulation

I usually always start with surface lures as its  just so much fun !!

The nordix stage dynamic 6ft is the rof for the tight country. Love it so much. ANGUS YOU GOT ANYMORE?? 

Enjoy the pics

Wow! Postcard shots everywhere. They seem to love those Bassday Sugar Pens. 

How far do you hike? Looks like stunning water. 

Do you see any crocs or is it above the rapids? 

[The Mad Hughesy]

some cracking photos there mate. Beautiful place to fish

[Drop Bear]

Also I am assuming that is a little sooty there? Do you get any bigger ones? 

[fishingnut]

Heaven right there !

If you're wanting to find a Nordic Stage rod, then @Do$tylz should be able to help out.

Lovely country.

Could you also look for those long scouts you had? I am after one for casting stick baits off the rocks at Straddie.

Also do you have any of the lighter Favourites? 

[Do$tylz]

Hey Robbie - yep. I think I have 2 more of the 9ft scouts. Light favourites - maybe not. I'll have to look.

Those are some awesome trips and fish Callum. That is bliss. 

I would love to chase JP's one day... One day!  

Cheers Hamish

Hey @Do$tylz

I doubt you'd have any, (and don't mean to hijack this thread), but my dad has a Barra King overhead reel, 20lb braid, size 65 I believe, which is in for a service.

We need a rod for the reel... Would you have any rods left over, about 20-30lb, for overhead reels?

Cheers Hamish

Great to see you posting again, Callum. I love those beautiful little creeks and rapids up that way. Seeing Jungle Perch swimming around in that crystal clear water is so special. 

[Dinodadog]

Great pics and yes I have wanted to get up there for ages, last time was in the army and no fishing.

What a great trip. You will have a ball! just don't look too closely in the back as there may be a drop bear hiding in there somewhere.

You could try the Tin Shed. You will probably catch a cool breeze and a cold beer on a hot arvo. But seriously now folks, from memory there are some lovely little creeks around Mossman where I have seen JPs by the dozens. Nice part of the world.

Good Questions. Let me start a new topic so I don't hijack this one.
