Launched from Crab Claw. It was our base for a week of fishing Bynoe Harbour. Didn't catch as many as we should have. Too busy stopping at the pub that was between our tent and the boat.
I lived in Weipa in the early 80s. Man, the fishing up there was something else then. We used to get big runs of Threadfins at the start of the wet season. A magical fish to catch - they go like the clappers. :O)
Yeah i had problems with them chewing through leader material when i was in Karumba.
