In reality, Secure Bay is two bays, connected by a narrow scenic passage with a spectacular tide-race and whirlpool. The inner bay features a stark black hillside of dolerite boulders with spinifex ‘stripes’, as well as vast areas of mangrove habitat.

At sixty kilometres in length, Walcott Inlet is fed by the Calder, Charnley and Isdell Rivers. Only the beautiful Isdell Gorge is accessible to dinghies on spring tides. Yule Entrance, at the mouth of the inlet, has one of the most formidable tidal whirlpools on the planet.

Traversed en route to Raft Point and Montgomery Reef, our track typically passes the Kingfisher Islands in the centre of the Bay. The Kingfisher Islands are noted for their pink-hued cliffs, stone barrier beaches and fishing opportunities.

Named by John Lort Stokes RN of HMS Beagle in 1838 due to his uncertainty as to whether or not the bay led to the Glenelg River, which had just been found by George Grey travelling overland. This area has many scenic and fishing attractions.

Bounded by a long rainforest escarpment on its western side, this area is noted for its strong tides. The whole area, including Gibson Creek, is well-regarded by fishermen.

Swamps along the river’s upper reaches provide an important breeding area for saltwater crocodiles. This area was a personal favourite of the late Malcolm Douglas. The Glenelg River has a near-legendary status among barramundi fishermen.

A cruise down Rothsay Water offers an opportunity to fish under the majesty of Mt Trafalgar.  Also home to two distinctive types of rock art known as Wandjina and Gwion Gwion styles, these two different types of rock art have very different characteristics.

Rothsay Water offers the chance to view both of these styles of ancient rock art with a tender excursion to explore the area’s many examples of artwork.

Named as recently as 1921, this was the last major Kimberley waterway to be located by surveyors. The funnel-shaped estuary is strewn with rocks and sandbanks, requiring skilful navigation. An excellent area for mud crabs, barramundi and bird-watching.

The long Voltaire Peninsula separates Montague Sound from Admiralty Gulf. The Cape itself is a remarkable headland of columnar basalt, which contrasts strikingly with surrounding cliffs of sandstone. There are exciting opportunities for pelagic fishing in this area.

Separating Admiralty Gulf from Vansittart Bay, Bougainville Peninsula is noted for its dense rain-forested slopes, plateau-capped hills and numerous long inlets. There is excellent pelagic fishing off the cliffs and headlands.

Napier Broome Bay is home to historic Indonesian trepang site, which gives an insight into the lives of the early Macassan fisherman, who came down to north of Australia in search of trepang – also know as bêch-de-mer , or more commonly, sea cucumber. This site stems back to the first early contact between Aboriginal tribes and the Indonesian fisherman.

It is also a great location to fish the inlets and estuaries of Barra and Mangrove Jack and try your luck at mud-crabbing.
