Cape York Fishing Adventures

Tweet

 

Cape York in the far north of the state of Queensland is one of the premium fishing adventures that Australia has to offer. A wild, remote and exotic land the cape is sparely populated and surrounded by a huge diversity of fishing opportunities. Estuary, river, flats, reef, blue water and pelagic fishing opportunities abound.

Make sure you fish Cape York at least once in a lifetime and take this guide along with you.

As Cape York has such a huge variety of fishing environments fishing all over Cape York is awesome all year.  South easterly trade winds blow from June to November peaking in July, August. and September. In places, particularly exposed areas on the east coast of the cape, they can be quite blustery making fishing very difficult.

Many places on the west coast, boarding the Gulf of Carpentaria offer some level  of protection  from these winds.
