Another day on the Fitzroy

[Douglas]

Here's the brochure for fishing tips on the Fitzroy.

Like any new thing, it has a couple of things that maybe should be a bit different but its a top job by Council people.

Take particular note of the mobile phone coverage advice.

Not all mobile phone companies provide good service to the bottom (mouth end of the river).

In respect of all of the service providers, service at high tide may not work at lower tides. As tide drops, boat drops below level of mangroves and your phone is basically trying to transmit from underground. So....sometimes no mobile phone service. The lesson is NOT to rely on mobile phones as your primary alerting mechanism particularly if urgent. Getting to the bank at least reduces croc danger but its a long way to anywhere.

VHF marine repeater on Mt Archer gives excellent coverage on Ch 22 VHF marine repeater as does a VHF marine Ch 16 service also on Mt Archer (600 metres high).
