NQ M&G Cardwell... REPORT

[NQCairns]

Ok Guys, anyone know for sure where we staying, or did I miss something. nq

[SNELLY]

Stayed at Cardwell Beachcomber Village ( previously called Sunrise Village ) for the Long weekend.


At this time of the year there will be heaps of room - The park itself is quite large - Spent most time when at the park in the pool - NB No Glass in the pool area .

Fished Offshore on Sat & Sun got a few Trout and also came close to a few BIG G.T.'s on Poppers but did not connect and frankly did not want to as 6kg is well undergunned for those things that were in the 10 t0 20 Kg range - When I go back I will take a 10kg spin outfit.

The Channel was quite dirty so did not do any lure fishing but talking to a local pro he said there were plenty of Barra's around. It should be good if we do not get too much more rain for our weekend.

[SNELLY]

Not wrong there Tim - Basically as flat as down there on the weekend - Particularly first thing in the morning.

We have had a few weeks of this now which is a good thing if it holds till this weekend I'm heading up to the daintree and out to snapper Island again

Hey Tim, I have just booked a camp site at the Beachcomber Village for the M & G. The lady I spoke to was Maureen, she said at this stage yhey know nothing of the M & G. I advised her to have a look at the Ausfish Chat Board.

Cheers

[TimNQ]

Cheers, yea havnt gotten round to calling them yet but locals in cardwell say the place will be quiet and will have no prob getting in. Even if we dont camp near each other im sure there will be an area where we can set up a bbq and some chairs.

Not a problem - We will see how the weather is for that weekend and see who would like to tag along for a trip to the reef - You're looking at about a 30 mile trip both ways but only the last 8 mile is open
