10th September Endevour River Escape Cooktown

Fishing today, we pick up the bait and ice, get a bit of local knowledge from the lure shop owner, he was very good.
The was very good,  made for an easy launch and retrieve.
The day was nice but windy, the locals reckon it blows 360 days a year here, I think this time of the year it is the trade winds.
We went out of the river mouth, it is a huge river, we were hoping to catch some flathead or whiting,  there was too much wind so we had to anchor, after quite awhile with no bites we moved up the river.
We anchored near some marker pylons, Merv caught some moses perch, a trevalley and a barracuda, I was smashed off twice,  I had light gear on, big bite all the gear taken, went to the heavier rod and reel no bites, back to the light gear smashed off again.
Everthing that was caught went back.
The engine was stalling a lot today so we will fix that before we go out again.
