Towing the Boat REMOTE in NORTHERN AUSTRALIA (Cape York)

- This was filmed in the September Holidays when we normally head up the Cape for our yearly Fishing/Camping trip. We stayed at Muttee Heads for about 5 days until we were getting low on water before heading back.
Getting out to the mouth of the Jardine river isn't to bad but I wouldn't tow anything to big out as the tight is quite tight in places and would be a high chance of breaking something.
You are able to leave the boat in the water no drama's and launch it easily of the bank, however be aware that there isn't much room avaible especially if travelling in a group.
Crocodiles are all over the place so be very aware of them and no swimming. We jumped in the water at low tide in same small pools but be very aware that there is a lot that of things in the area. There was a Croc that watched us almost every night out the front of the camp, it would float past just as sun going down and sit on the edge of the mangroves.
The wind in the river itself is alright as is protected but out the front you get every bit of the trade winds so we only got to go out there twice in the time stayed. The tides weren't great ether to go up the river as the boat was high and dry for most of the morning till lunch time, so was also unable to go to far up the river.
We most likely be going back with the boat this year with much more knowledge of the area and will try to film a lot more, see what happens.

Great trip! That mackerel got some air!
Yeah it was keen on eating something
@@Lure_Loser or not getting eaten 🦈 😉
Haha yeah true, never know up that way. Always something bigger
I work near Wivenhoe but grew up in the top end of qld. I go up occasionally for a fishing trip had a blast at Ingham this year big jacks, Barra, crocs and crabs what more could a man want hey!
Yeah love it up there, we go every year in september. Done very well on jacks and barra this year as water was warming up fast when got there so they were fired up.
I lived in townsville for a while and do miss being able to have a sickie and go up to the Hinchinbrook for a fish. Bit of a drive now but
@@Lure_Loser just the other side of crystal creek between Townsville and Ingham there are some sick camping spots along the river.
@@matthewharris-davies8368 yep we stopped there on way up and back this time on way to cape.
I used to go to those areas quite a bit when was up that way, could usually jag a jack or barra for a feed.
Bit different to down here, just come back from jumpinpin and couldn't even find a legal crab.
Terbaik boss 👍🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great vid Ladies and gents, some lovely fish to, Love the Cape , been going 40 years, this year is my 20th trip, 18psi is to high towing on the sand up there 12 to 13 is better loaded with a tracking boat trailer
Yeah love it up that way. We used to go to Jannie creek on west coast and had to drop tyres down to 12psi or so. It can get so soft in some places.
@@Lure_Loser Ok yes I camped at Janie for 6 weeks few years ago great spot towed my 5m tinny in there no worries, but holy cow Midges I prefer Penny been going there for 25 years, be going again soon if it opens this year, towed my 5m tinny in there for nearly 10 years
Yeah that whole area is our favourite. Fingers crossed it will be opened again
Top stuff mate, missed your videos! Keep em coming
Yeah been a bit harder getting the time of late, have a few that just need to put together now but so they'll keep coming
Hi mate, love the vid. What do you think would be the maximum length boat you would tow up there to get to all the good spots, also single or dual axle?
Hi mate, really depends where you want to go.
Single or duel axle would depend on weight of boat.
The last few years we have taken a 3.75m boat with 15hp on and a quad bike. We've found this a lot easier to get into some more shallow river areas and can launch boat with quad bike. But this setup is also very limited when comes to weather and trying to get to some reef ground.
But much easier and lighter to tow around also.
You'll never have the pefect setup to do everything really well unfortuntly.
go the GU Patrol! congrats on your trip ! looks like you guys had a great time ! the trailer setup looks good too !
woah the fishing is crazy ! these sharks are massive !
Yeah can't wait to get back up at the end of year again.
Will try to video a lot more next time, get a bit slack because having to much fun
