Cairns Trip - Day 4


Went to the creek at 6:00 am. Right where I had been the previous night there were 3 slides from crocodiles – each about 40cm across. The crocs appeared to be about 1m.


Tried a Pop-R. Heard a splash and, looking across, saw a reed move. Dropped the pop-R right next to the reed and got a hit. Popped it once more and got another hit. Nothing more though, Finally got a tarpon on a soft plastic – and it went straight up – lots of fun for a small fish. But, when all is said and done, they were using bigger fish as bait off the jetty.


Went to the jetty and got a small ‘scad’ and a ‘sort of flathead’


Drove up the coast and scouted out the fishing.


After dinner went to the jetty and looked. About 40 people, many drinking beer. Not much catching.
