where to fish in October?

Gday guys

I am in a quandry, and so i turn to fishwrecked...

In october theres an opportunity for my brother-in-law and i to take our dads fishing for a week or so to hopefully kill the pig, and hence a small return on the favours they have done us as tackers intorducing us to fishing. With requisite permissions from mrss etc you can imagine this is a rare treat and one that may never arise again, so important to make the most of it. And so the thinking starts, but alas:

Too windy up north in October and too cold down south

Pinkies around FFB etc is too close and no real getaway, and too hit n miss besides

No tuna in tassy by then I don’t think.

Abrolhos boats not operating then either.

Too windy for montes.

Too early for Barra

 

Old boys too old for roughing it in some FNQ bush camp. Need accom really.

Andamans too expensive I’m sure - along with most exotic charters/camps

What is Malaysia like then? wrong season for sails isnt it?

Happy to chuck a few bucks at it but we are both gonna have to shout the old fellas a trip so it has to be SEMI- affordable too

 

Long list huh? That’s why I couldn’t come up with anything.

Farrrk!

so - there is no bigger wealth of fishing knowledge and advice that i know of, if you have a sugestion, please let me know!

Cheers all.

 Too windy up north? I thought it would be ideal around Broome/cape lavique (sp?)

 Sounds like the perfect opportunity to chase black bass in PNG. That's a bucket list trip there.

...I know it's not as far-flung as some of the places already mentioned (it IS further than the FFB!) but I've always creamed it there that time of year...particularly the demersal jigging and the inshore snapper and tailor. Just be sure to get in before the ban (Oct 15)
