    Thanks for the tips. I gave the camp ground a call and they don't do it any more but gave me a number for the Tackle world that also don't do it any more haha. They gave me a number for Nathan that does do it... 0419 703 624

    Bucket list! Thanks for the info mate
  3. Drop Bear
    got any tips on where to stay in Cooktown?
  4. Drop Bear
    Good point. I will pack the xxxx gold and some wine... I don't think we are going to any dry communities but will double check. The fuel will be expensive... I am expecting to spend around $1,500 on it. This will probably be the biggest expense as camping is pretty cheap. Thanks for the tip.

    http://beachsidecaravanparkyeppoon.com.au/ Is this the one?

    Ok that is pencilled in for the trip home. What bait/lure did you use for the salmon and queenies?
  7. Drop Bear
    We won't on the way up but have a few more days on the trip home so might stay there. the beach camping looks nice. Thanks for the tip.

    Do you have a contact for this? How did you find where to fish? Such a better option than towing mine all that way. Thanks for the tip
  9. Drop Bear
    Yep I have pencilled in a morning fish from the Jetty before we drive to Captain Billies Landing. Looks insane. Did you just jig up the herring?

    Did you see any crocs? I will check out a camping trailer... We have been avoiding one as we mostly camp but if it is quicker to set up and has more stuff then probably worth it. Thanks for the tips

    I think we will do Lakefield next trip. My old ute doesn't have a lift kit or a snorkel so we are taking it pretty easy for our first go at it. I love the sound of the Cherubim. Delicious. Thanks

    Thanks mate, Got any tips on where to stay in Cooktown?

    Hey legends, Brrrrr its too cold here in Brisbane and its only gonna get colder over the next few weeks/month. Mrs Drop Bear declared that we need to head north and hibernate for the winter... And as everyone in the world knows, there is no further north than Cape York (you all know Drop Bears cant swim and cant get passports) So... we plan to do a roughing it type quick trip for just over 2 weeks... road trip... sight seeing and perhaps some land based fishing... Take a tent and an eski and a few rudimentary things but that is about it. We are working on an itinerary but rough idea is; Brisbane Townsville Cairns Cooktown Archer River Roadhouse Bramwell Station Elliot Falls Punsand Punsand Seisia Captain Billy Landing Weipa Weipa TBA TBA TBA TBA Brisbane Any tips, tricks, recommendations, fishing options, fuel carrying capacity, insect replant preferences are greatly appreciated.

    The weather looks great for the rest of the week.

    They have such big mouths. I am interested that you use cheese. Are you making sure that the hook is exposed or are you burying it in the cheese?

    Happy Birthday Kat, There are some great impoundments up that way if you are wanting a Barra and don't like crocs

    Nice one mate. Looks like a great evening. So good to see you on the boat so much. Great for your health and wellbeing. Well done @Kat. Cracking trip.
  22. Drop Bear
    Wow hard to go past it at that price.

    I just bought a Stradic 6000 with 30 lb braid. Its pretty fast and a great reel for the price. I matched it with a live fibre 7 foot RLF8 (8 - 15kg). This is probably considered light for longtails and if there are lots of sharks I don't think you would get any to the boat. The plus side is it is very nice to cast and light in your hand. Its all about compromise... if and you could go a LOT heavier. Up to you.
  24. Drop Bear
    Thanks Tugger. A perfect send off.
  25. Drop Bear
    Good on you mate. I am not to butch to admit that I had a bit of a cry when I watched your Facebook video. I hope you are doing well and we can catch up soon.
