Lance and family had done well by me. For the next 2 days, we're going to go on fishing charters, and today we had a full day charter out on the reef. So we left the daintree river, after laying down a few crab pots, and collecting some live bait. We went out to Snapper Island, and from there we spent the next hour trawling for fish. It didn't take long to get onto one, Lance ending up catching a 3 foot reef shark.
After trawling for a while, we headed out to do some reef fishing. Just to let you know, the weather was pretty bad, and it didn't take long for me to get completely wet. Our first fishing spot didn't yield too much, so we moved on, going up near Cape Tribulation. And it was almost immediate that the fish began to bite. Over the next few hours we brought in a number of Mackeral, all sorts of different fish, and a truck load of Nannigai, some of which were over 2 feet long.
On the way back to the car, we picked up the crab nets, which held about 10 mud crabs. (Lance ate one of those that evening.) . We also spotted a few crocs, fancy that!!
Anyway, we're on another charter tomorrow, and hopefully we head up river. I still haven't got a Barra, and I know the chances are slim but..
