Andy Grey « Fri May 26, 2017 9:41 pm » Easy to do yourself BJOBrien..springs are cheap and bearings too, get it all at BCF, would take you an hour and a bit to do all up.

fishfanatic « Fri May 26, 2017 9:24 pm » BJOBrien Promotor Trailers did a good job for a fair price for me. They are located in Winnellie, 15 Benison Road I believe

BJOBrien « Fri May 26, 2017 8:26 pm » Who does boat trailer repairs? Just wanna replace my Springs and bearings under my 4.5 tinny before I sell it.

Fishcatcher101 « Fri May 26, 2017 8:14 am » Thanks andy

Andy Grey « Thu May 25, 2017 11:00 pm » Fishcatcher..go look at the seaward side off the bridge outgoing tide...look in the shadow line of the bridge, watch the barra cruising along the shadow line..fish the inside (cas beach side) of first corner at mouth on 5.2 neaps outgoing at night with poppers or live bait the big hole just after first bend after bridge at night on the dead low.

Hemi « Thu May 25, 2017 9:41 pm » That's a cop just wanting to be a cad, plain & simple.

Fishcatcher101 « Thu May 25, 2017 7:11 pm » I saw rapid creek any good fishing??

nomad « Thu May 25, 2017 5:50 pm » Jeez thats a bit rough re the seatbelt. I was sure there was a sort of exemption for people doing just short distance - obviously not anymore. I reckon they would get everyone for that

Jer « Thu May 25, 2017 4:33 pm » What a croc.. No wonder traffic police are hated so much - http://www.news.com.au/national/queensl ... f0ca2f0daf

Quinntreximon « Thu May 25, 2017 2:34 pm » getoutnow Dundee can be used on all tides. Ive retrieved a 5.3 mtr on a .2 low.

Mudwarrior « Thu May 25, 2017 10:30 am » I pulled my 7.3m boat out at a 2.5m tide at Dundee the other day

getoutnow « Wed May 24, 2017 5:56 pm » And is there any lighting there

getoutnow « Wed May 24, 2017 5:55 pm » What is the lowest water you can use the dundee ramp?

nomad « Wed May 24, 2017 3:27 pm » Slight change to the sat ph . its a 9575 not the 9555. has more features than the 9555

blowski « Tue May 23, 2017 4:51 pm » not the classic yet ellajonic- prob be released very shortly the EOI for the classic have been released if your keen can email you a copy

Ellajonic « Tue May 23, 2017 3:56 pm » Have any dates been announced for the Nats and Classic next year ???

wazdog « Tue May 23, 2017 3:28 pm » maxpower, just had a chat with Nigel from the BOM and he has indicated that there is a problem with the Daly River Police Station Indicator. The reading has been stuck at river height 2.38mtres /over the crossing at 0.88 mtres for since the last set of springs. I can confirm that the river was fluctuating back then as i was going to flick the crossing but the indicator said that the rivewr was at 1.06 mtres above the crossing. I am constantly looking at this site in the wet and can confirm that when the river gets to approx 2.0mtres, the Police Station Indicator will dissappearand Beeboom will be the last indicator shown on the list. Apparently the hose that recieves the water from the river is blocked and is reading the last known level.

fishfanatic « Tue May 23, 2017 12:42 pm » Cheers Melv...heading out there this week..will keep you's up dated

Melv « Tue May 23, 2017 8:46 am » FF - we were there a couple of weeks ago, nearly at dry season level. A trickle running through the dip, no runoff at 3 ways, was sytill a couple of small ones upstream but reckon they've stopped by now. Didn't get up to Walkers Ford so not sure how it's running through there.

Sullo « Mon May 22, 2017 8:14 pm » not sure how to put a link,qlq fisheries fb page,$17,000 fine for female and undersize crabs

fishfanatic « Mon May 22, 2017 6:01 pm » Hi guys can anyone tell me what the water levels are like at Finniss Fresh?

shaggs « Mon May 22, 2017 5:52 pm » I wonder what they will do about the silt build up,probably have to clear it each season

nomad « Mon May 22, 2017 5:06 pm » Only this about the ramp build https://dipl.nt.gov.au/infrastructure/p ... mp-upgrade

Quinntreximon « Sun May 21, 2017 10:29 pm » Any shady reports from the weekend??

Territory_Tuff « Sun May 21, 2017 9:39 pm » Good to see so many Barra in our local billabongs, caught easy 50+ rats all around 40, and 2 chromie keepers,all caught casting in run off drains, also good to see quite a bit of run off hanging around, just spent hundreds getting my boat fixed and I don't even need it haha

Hemi « Sun May 21, 2017 9:05 pm » Anyone got the marks of where Warpath sunk.? Pm.if so.

Quinntreximon « Sun May 21, 2017 6:35 pm » Is that low tide on a 1metre neap tide or an 8mtr spring tide?? Either way they should be no where near a mud flat, yet they still net them.

Swoffa « Sun May 21, 2017 6:04 pm » Yep. And 3NM from the low water mark at the mouth of the Finniss takes them WELL past the end of the flats by at least 1.5NM

Tommy222220_0 « Sun May 21, 2017 5:34 pm » 3nm from low tide mark. did see one at anson bay this year

Quinntreximon « Sun May 21, 2017 3:05 pm » It needs to be BLACK N WHITE, too much GREY. NO ENTRY of a commercial boat into FOGG,ANSON,BYNOE,DARWIN,CHAMBERS AND FINKE BAYS. Thats how it should be, of course they will net the rivers as the temptation/rewards are too great.

Swoffa « Sun May 21, 2017 2:52 pm » Information directly from NT Gov fisheries web site

Matt Flynn « Sun May 21, 2017 2:44 pm » The lines are likely on the Fisheries website, probably on here somewhere too, doesn't mean all netters will obey them, there were reports earlier this year of nets outside the Finniss that may have been inside the zone

Quinntreximon « Sun May 21, 2017 2:05 pm » I dont think its that black n white swoffs otherwise they would not be allowed net the flats. As Matt says they are most likely the same fish population

Swoffa « Sun May 21, 2017 11:22 am » Barramundi commercial fishing licence shows that Commercial barramundi fishing is not permitted in the following areas:•between the Little Finniss River and the Wildman River, including Bynoe Harbour, Darwin Harbour and Shoal Bay

Matt Flynn « Sun May 21, 2017 10:51 am » stock on the flats is likely same stock that goes in and out the river

Quinntreximon « Sun May 21, 2017 10:17 am » Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thanks for that Matt. That seems so Hypocritical 'protecting' barra stocks pppffffffttttt.

Matt Flynn « Sun May 21, 2017 9:44 am » they can legally net the flats outside the river beyond the net boundary - it is also possible that illegal netters hit it at night

Quinntreximon « Sun May 21, 2017 8:39 am » Gday MATT FLYNN.In todays paper you have written that the finniss river had been hit by the netter, is that legal?? I thought it was closed to netting???

Quinntreximon « Sun May 21, 2017 7:06 am » Any shady reports ????

Andy Grey « Sat May 20, 2017 11:14 pm » first push in at buff. I like the 5.6mtr neaps early morning high say 9am right of the ramp fish the back eddies on far side on incoming, 6 inch nilsie james bond or big ass reidys green. my best 92cm

Andy Grey « Sat May 20, 2017 11:12 pm » fishcatcher you need bigger tides mate

itsinmeblood « Sat May 20, 2017 7:31 pm » there's a decent lagoon forming just downstream from the ramp, might be ok fishing the mouth of it as it drains out

Matt Flynn « Sat May 20, 2017 6:02 pm » just upstream of the ramp is a rockbar. but they get barra off the beach above the ramp. night fishing off the ramp works when it is quiet but beware crocodiles

Fishcatcher101 « Sat May 20, 2017 5:42 pm » Rockbar*

Fishcatcher101 « Sat May 20, 2017 5:41 pm » Ok thanks guys, where at buff creek, near the rock at infront of the ramp??

Matt Flynn « Sat May 20, 2017 5:23 pm » head to Buff Creek if you can, better spot ...
