kakadu freshing

Post by nikoniko »

Hi its been a while between trips but with a few days spare a trip was organised out to yellow waters and red lilly billabong. Ended up with with 15 legal fish with the biggest going 73cm, it was fun to sight cast to them but frustrating aswell. DOA prawns were the go in yellow waters with hard bodies and other soft plastics seeming to spook the fish more so. Here are some pics of them tailling with most of these fish not interested!

Red lilly billabong was a bit tricky to get into this morning after overnight rain as some of the ruts are getting slippery and deep enough to cause concern. The fish were holding in the lillies with the water dirty as. For the first tine I tried the ZMAN 10X tough frogs. It was a boof fest hooking up on every five or so hits. These lures are awesome hooking the biggest fish for the trip.

While we were at cooinda, took a run to sandy billabong for a look, no fish but a nice spot

Great shots Nikoniko, what a wonderful place to fish, even if they aren't playing the game.

Hi there,

Some very nice photos there.
And it is interesting that you had success in fresh water using a lure that look like a prawn.
I would have never thought of using it, this show that we should try to kep an open mind when it comes to lure fishing.
Thanks for the information.

Have a good day,
Pecheur
