Just came back from a week at Hinchinbrook. Stayed at Lucinda and fished the channel and creeks and out mainly around Britomar reef.
The Barra and jacks didn’t want to play the game # so after giving them a good try with livies and lures we mainly fished outside. We also gave the fingermark a try on live squid Friday night but only managed 1 fish.
Out the reef we caught coral trout, sweeties, cobes, mixed stuff, trevally by the score,(they turned out to be a pain in the arse as you couldn’t get a bait past them) and some nice Spanish. #There were heaps of unstoppables at times. We managed to pull in (and release )what turned out to be a good sized shark so at least we got a look at them.
I reckon that the Nth Queenslanders are spoilt with the fishing they have up that way. #
Here’s some pics.
Cheers Col
Trevally at the wharf

Hey Craigie,
Where we fished was around 25nms. Mainly fished the northern side of Britomar and in between Bramble and Britomar. Just read your report Barra King We couldn't catch a barra to save ourselves and the reef was calling. A couple of the lads went out with a guide for the day and only managed one barra so they just weren't happening for us. l Will let you know about the open day shortly.
Hey crazy man you'll have to come up and have a feed and drink one day soon. Heard there's a few spotties starting to show up out the front too
Cheers Col
some great fish there mate, how far from lucinda is the reef where you picked up those trout.
cheers Tim,
