Cape York Fishing

Fishing around Portland Roads and the Chili beach area is very good. From the beach you could catch a mangrove jack, coral trout, barramundi or trevally (just to name a few).

There is no shop at Portland Roads so you must bring sufficient tackle. However, there are limited supplies at the Lockhart River Store.

On the low spring tides you could collect black lipped oysters from the mangroves and see a painted cray fish in the rock pools. Bring a bait net to catch your own baitfish in the sea directly in front of Portland House.
