met fantastic local people, enjoyed ocean breezes, rested and relaxed in this beautiful spot - how many times can you say that you completely and utterly relaxed on holiday?
Fish off the jetty at Hinchinbrook
Equipped with fishing rod and all the right bait and tackle, you won’t have any problem finding a good spot on the Lucinda jetty to wet your line.
Whole families gather along the jetty in the early morning and late afternoons to try their luck at hauling in the big ones, or just simply to look, learn and listen.
Fishermen swap stories of big bites, bait and pound lines while trying to snare trevally, dart, flathead, queenfish, barramundi, fingermark and mackerel (to name a few!).
While you're waiting for the bites, a sight not to be missed is Lucinda's acclaimed engineering feature the 5.76km sugar conveying jetty and off-shore loading facility. The jetty follows the curvature of the earth and is the longest of its kind in the world. It's a big jetty and attracts big fish.
Getting there:
Lucinda is located 1490km north of Brisbane and 28km from Ingham.
By train:
Catch the Tilt Train or The Sunlander to Ingham. To book your rail adventure call Traveltrain Holidays on 1800 627 655.

Having briefly visited the jetty (and the great facilites beyond) enroute to Little Ramsay Bay to start the Hinchinbrook Island walk I promised myself that next time I will walk the other way and fish from that wonderfully appointed jetty, and I will.

There's nothing better than fishing Hinchinbrook. Muddies in the pot, a fish on the line and the fantastic jungle mountain backdrop. Gotta love it. Peter
