| Report Hinchinbrook As mentioned our catch rates are up and judging by the amount of baitfish in the area we should have an excellent year. Now as the water has cleaned up to a mild tannin stain coming from the smaller tributaries the beaches have large bait schools along them with good numbers of Giant Hering,Queenfish,Golden Trevally,Permit,Salmon and Barramundi being present. Bookings for Hinchinbrook are solid this year and with our new accomodation at the Mudbrick Manor it is still one the nicest locations to fish on the east coast. Wet Season It seems the wet season has been and gone but there may be follow up rains during April as this quite often happens. Hinchinbrook had a steady wet however not a large one.All the rivers and creeks have run,some more than others due to patchy rains and not a general rainfall coverage.The Herbert river which is the main feeder into the area rose approximately two metres and is now cleaning upand falling. Cape York has had a fair wet with around 75 inches of rain falling for the December to March period which is quite normal. Both locations look like having a pretty fair year if some recent catches are indicative of the fishing we are to look forward to. Our best day at Hinchinbrook in the last month was 39 Barramundi and 12 Jacks for the day.Not bad when 20 Barra are over legal length for two anglers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
