Hi cotto87

welcome onboard.

good place to start would be getting a copy of the latest fish finder book. Has heaps of spots marked from people who have been here for years and explains quite a bit about the different types of fishing as well.

the Darwin Harbour this weekend will be good, for flicking in snake drains at midday, won't be much water though!!!

But you will be able to make a note of where the deep holes and the rock bars and snags are for future reference.

Cheers!

don't feel you're stuck in the harbour with a 3.99 mate, the rivers will be more comfortable than the harbour anyway and there's plenty of spots in Bynoe your rig will be well suited to also, just keep an eye on the arvo storms this time of year, if you're here until the dry you'll be able to go chasing macks and tuna on the inshore reefs as well

Welcome aboard Jamie...look forward to hearing about your successes. Now that the storms have arrived take care on the harbour till the runoff...geting cought in a storm can be unsettling...try the estuaries and creeks.
Cheers
