I have a tube with me - but it didn't work on previous trips ....... the Curtis sandfly "Bitus Tobuggerus" is known to lick the DEET off the skin prior to biting :p

Sound like a sweet weekend. Looks like a great part of the world on google maps. Very fishy and a bit hinchinbrook like I guess. Jacks are starting to chew up up here. Boated 1 yesterday late arvo and stiched up by 3 others. Good fun. Hope your strike rate is a little better. Have a great weekend

Have a good one Chris! nothing like the building anticipation of a good trip! Gotta love the way it fires you up, all the way until the adrenaline rush of that first barra or Jack hit kicks in and takes over!

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks Craig

Very much like Hinchy - but not quite as spectacular .... nearly as big though . We plan to do some more exploring into the Balaclava Is area ( it's massive)
Are your jacks coming on Lures or livies ?
