The Adelaide River is slowly improving after Cyclone Carlos, it’s almost crackalackin’ but not quite … just waiting for the yellow-tailed salties to move up the river now. Here’s a few pix.

And the barra is free ...

I hope to fish a lot more this year, after most water time in 2010 was spent making Dr Depth maps for NTMAG and FISH FINDER.
The Adelaide River was well and truly in flood in late February, falling nicely at the beginning of March, with regular top-up rain.
The half-day trips so far have been good, one with Crackers (no fish), one with Cosmos (caught about 20, biggest 84cm) and one with Lincoln (about 20, mostly rats, biggest 79cm).
Guns’n'roses seems to be the colour, and they like small lures.
