    Three more sleeps

    We are heading off to the mouth of the Fortescue river for an extended fishing camping trip on Thursday

    Heaps of 4WD TRACKS, Islands, Reefs and plenty of creeks full of mud crabs to enjoy.
    I have pretty much loaded the D2a, 79 series, caravan and boat up with enough gear/provisions to last us 4 to 6 weeks and with fuel and water easilly available within 50k's it should be a nice relaxing trip.

    It's been well over a year or so since we have been away because of the threat of COV19 and waiting for vaccinations (both of them) and then waiting untill October when most of the grey nomads will have wandered back down south so that the place should be pretty much empty before we venture out so I am prety toey to get up there now

    I will do my best to remember to take the fishy pic's before I release or fillet them so that I can post them here

    Are you sure that's safe? I'm sure I read somewhere recently on this forum that being out in the fresh air can still spread COV19 resulting in pestilents and death and is a big no-no!

    Presumably you'll be masking up so you don't give the fish COV19?! Gawd, that's the last thing we need...

    2 more sleeps to go
    loaded all the fresh stores today and topped up the booze supplies.
    We get up there on the start of the neap tides so the muddies should be on the crawl, Looking forwar to a good feed of muddies.

    What is your problem?
    It took ages for both of us to get fully immunised here in WA and by that time it was the high season and the campsite would have been packed with people so this is the reason why we have delayed our trip.
    The last thing I want to do is camp up in a crowded site, Thats Not why we go bush.
    I much prefer to listen to the sounds of the bush than listen to screaming kids and a whole bunch of gensets ticking away

    We arrived at the Mouth of the Fortescue river about 9am 6esterday and the campgrounds are completely empty as i had planned

    Set up a rough camp yesterday and will refine it today which hopefully will give me time to get some livebaits and get a feed of mangrove jacks off the oyster rocks for tea.
    It is going to blow up for a few days so it looks like I will be confined to the river for a bit which is quite OK as there are plenty of fish/crabs to be had there.
    We have plenty of time to wait for good weather so we can play outside amongst the offshore islands getting into the reef fish Mackrell etc.
