Karumba Day 1

Arrived in Karumba today at 12:30 and had to set up in the heat of the day, not a great idea but we got there in the end.

We are here for a few days so we did the awning and floor, TV etc so everything is set up for a relaxing few days. We went for a swim in their very clean park pool afterwards and we were all good
Everyone has tinnies here, we are packed in pretty tight but have enough room to breathe. It is a boys club thats for sure, they just come here to fish in their boats, bag plenty, freeze them and take them home. I was chatting to a few boys and they tell me they are catching Barra in cast nets off the beach just outside and some days the beach goers are getting more that the boaties, just watch out for the stonefish and there is an 8ft croc a little way up to the right - and another across the way, but they will leave you alone if you dont go swimming...

I grabbed the tribe and we went for a walk down the beach and up to the Sunset Tavern for dinner, a few schooies and a magic sunset. It is diferent because of where Karumba is, it is on the eastern side of the gulf facing west, not what we are used to in Bris Vegas but great all the same.

Dave Bond's Dad, Bob, was kind enough to offer to take me out on Friday to chase some Barra, and I will do a charter also. Tomorrow I will take the boys to do some beach work and let Nat have some reading time. She is having a good time although I dont think a fishing expedition for a few days is her thing, but as always she is supportive and never complains. Hopefully we will have smething to spruk about tomorrow in terms of what we catch....
