North Australian FISH FINDER forums

hey all

Went for a look at the barrage Saturday. arrived to a couple of people getting into some fish.
the barrage had the most flow i have seen it this wet but was still pretty p..s poor.
water clarity wasn't great, almost a coke colour. Got a few fish and dropped a few aswell.
Ended up being an alright solo trip out there Decided to go back on Sunday and as soon as i got out of the car, the smell was bad.
Barra lining the shallows under the trees along with plenty of eel and forktail powertails, bony bream, mullet.....you name it.
foul hooked a barra that was about to flow over the barrage in the low 60's. didn't have much energy and gave up within a few seconds.
heaps of big mullet gulping air on the surface too. Pretty disappointing to see really. anyways here is a short video of some footage i got. didn't have the balls to walk into the shallows to get video of the barra in there because there was a 4m croc that was hanging around.

P.s sorry about the language and my outrageously loud footsteps

doesnt look good out there.

Not going to get any better either if we dont get some serious rain in a real hurry!

This is terrible,
This wet season has knobs on it.

Wearing flippers? Good footage !

Cheers

Mate, go out there at night and youll see more than one big croc there.
Shame to see the fish kill. Come on rain gods, do your work

yea i've seen it.
this one was hanging around the barrage for most of saturday and again on sunday. Was about 10m away from the bloke who picked up a descent barra in the shallows.

That guy cleaned his barra on the barrage? Seriously? Lol!!

Good footage mullet!

And when he gets nailed by a croc, they will be calling for a cull

went out there on sunday aswell the fish kill didn't look to bad but there will be more to come looking at how dopey some of the barra were swimming around.

With the amount of dead barra they ATM I don't think it would matter were you clean your fish. I watched a two blokes walking the banks lastnight picking them up and chucking them in the esky. He clean a 60 model at the gate and put it straight on the fry pan. Lol

Might not kill you, but they didn't look very healthy.lol

Gee, you would have to be hard up for a feed

no thanks love eating fish but not that keen

all good as long as they are alive. there only dying from lack of oxygen. I wouldnt eat one because of the mud in mary river fish any way.

thanks for the great footage,
Shame to see that happening out there, looks so baron compared to last year
