Middle lagoon trip. 240km north of Broome.

 So my wife had monday off so we thought we get away for a little weekend trip 2 and half hours north of broome. I checked the forecast and was considering not bringing the tinny but luckily i did as it was pretty flat.

 

Left saturday pretty early as we were meant to leave friday night but finished work later than expected. When we arrived the place was pretty busy and we missed out on the spot overlooking the water but in turn we got a bigger campsite and a bit of grass. 

On the drive up the wheel arch broke and ended up just ripping it off because it would have caused more damage if left on. 

Luckily that was the only trouble we had on the trip. The dog almost got bitten by what to looked to be a 1.5 metre brown snake but had him on the lead so could pull him away in time.

Got another macky for the tinny which was pleasing on  a old school rapala(wooden body) and the biggest blue lined emp ive seen so far came in at 52cm and was just a heavy fish .

Fishing blind for most of it as the sounder hasnt been working since i bought the tinny but the fishing is that good you only need navionics and find ground that way. whales are everywhere at the moment which are nice from a distance.

 

The family was nice enough to give us some fire wood so rewarded them with a couply of bluelined emps which they were stoked about.

If anyone anyone comes to broome with a car make sure to check out the cape as i call it the exmouth of Broome.

I hate looking at photos of people having fun camping and fishing. It's been too long since I've been able to get out.

Having said that I'm off to Japan in a couple of weeks for a fortnight so I can't complain.

Looks like a fun trip mate, good times with the missus and dog.

 on a really big tide like over 9 metres might be difficult but otherwise they were plenty of bigger boats up to 7 metres launching. The good thing up there is no matter how big the tide the vis is always good. I had my tyres at 32 psi and got away with it launching and retrieving.
