Watch The Big Fish Travel Channel online: Episode 9 Light tackle sports fishing on the Kimberley Coast

Marc joins a luxurious fishing boat that cruises one of the world’s few remaining true wilderness areas – The Kimberley Coast of Western Australia. Marc’s target species is the Queenfish The adventure begins at remote Faraway Bay where tourism pioneer Bruce Ellison makes arrangements for Marc to be picked up on the beach by the charter boat “The True North’s” own chopper. Marc’s fishing guide is the skipper and owner of the boat, Craig Howson. Craig is a real character with an extra “dry” sense of humour and a mischievous sense of fun. The helicopter lands on the top of “The True North” which is passing through some magnificent gorge country and Marc sets off on a reconnaissance mission on foot. At the top of one towering cliff Marc spots a school of big Queenfish, which really wet his appetite for the fishing ahead. Craig gives Marc a tour of “The True North” and then the skipper explains that Marc won’t actually be staying on the boat, but rather in the “outback suite”. Marc can hardly complain as he sets up his camp on the edge of Eagle Falls overlooking an idyllic billabong. The fishing from “The True North” is actually done from the little “tinnies” it tows behind. Soon Craig and Marc are skimming towards some of the best fishing and scenery you could imagine. Craig and Marc are soon jousting over hats, lures and who will catch the first and biggest Queenfish. No matter what Marc seems to do Craig always has him covered even when they race “first to five” catching another local species, Mangrove Jacks. The remainder of the trip is more spectacular camp locations and fantastic Queenfish action. When the trip finally comes to an end, Craig decides to let Marc stay on the boat for “one” night. Marc should have realised that Craig would have the last laugh as he sets his tent up on top of the boat, next to the chopper!
