Captain6979 « Tue Apr 23, 2019 11:00 am » When are the Sailfish comps coming up, does anyone know? Cheers Team!

Quinntreximon « Tue Apr 23, 2019 1:41 am » no suface action at lee pt today. No bait schools but calm as. Water probably a bit dirty as well with the huge tides.

Captain6979 « Mon Apr 22, 2019 6:06 pm » Kinda like Lee Point today then....brutal.

blowski « Mon Apr 22, 2019 4:17 pm » Daly update is its cactus

Flickin4em « Sun Apr 21, 2019 11:21 am » Ahoy ...Ivan i sent you a pm

wonderwobler « Sat Apr 20, 2019 8:19 am » A gentle soueast breeze, a couple of dozen boats enjoying the scenery of the river....

Eman « Sat Apr 20, 2019 2:09 am » East point

blowski « Fri Apr 19, 2019 11:39 pm » Daly updates?

keenfisho24 « Fri Apr 19, 2019 11:02 pm » reckon the mackies will be here soon

keenfisho24 « Fri Apr 19, 2019 11:01 pm » where exactly is racecourse creek

Eman « Fri Apr 19, 2019 9:58 pm » I know a guy who catches large whiting at of the mouth of race course creek. But personally I wouldn’t eat anything out of that creek.

Eman « Fri Apr 19, 2019 9:53 pm » If u are chasing whiting just get yourself a sardine jig and bait with peeled prawns u get from the servo. Gunpoint, lee point on a dropping tide.

Flickin4em « Fri Apr 19, 2019 9:18 pm » You should just put them onto some more metre 10 barras instead. Just use the whiting for bait ..lol

keenfisho24 « Fri Apr 19, 2019 8:44 pm » i know how to use a cast net. just trying to put some kids on some good whiting and flathead. tired teaching them how to use the thrownet. but no success.

Fruity « Fri Apr 19, 2019 4:57 pm » Thanks rip'n'tear got it Cheers

rip'n'tear « Fri Apr 19, 2019 3:53 pm » Google Kakadu access report fruity it has Magela height

Flickin4em « Thu Apr 18, 2019 7:09 pm » If you want whiting just learn how to use a cast net

Fruity « Thu Apr 18, 2019 3:17 pm » Hi Does anyone know Magella Height, I'm keen to go to the East Alligator for Easter, Cheers

Captain6979 « Thu Apr 18, 2019 2:58 pm » ive got a few flathead, decent ones, in Buff Creek, landbasedm with small wriggler softies. White ones.

NinjaFish « Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:57 pm » Flathead will take anything. Small rubbers are best for them if they're there.

keenfisho24 « Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:42 pm » just curious, wanna take some kids whiting fishing but dont know if you can harvest any marine worms or nippers up here. will flatheads take marine worms?

Captain6979 « Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:15 am » I hear of a few peeps getting bluebone out at channel island.

Tap'n'Zap « Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:50 pm » Have caught a trout and blue bone off the Larrakeyah Naval base rock wall years back both were around the 3 kg mark.

Daz12 « Wed Apr 17, 2019 4:08 pm » Apsley

Flickin4em « Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:50 am » Yirrakala,Bawaka, Dhanya and Cape Arnhem are all good spots but a fair drive and hectic mission for permits or written permission and other logistics. I've never got a tricky as I was using barra gear and casting lures but plenty of trout to 80 plus and decent sized jacks, we used to spearfish at these spots and have seen Big Red Emperors only 20m offshore in 15m of water also the wessels would be good to LBG too in ''hole in the wall ''

kingsley_z « Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:38 am » Have trolled up a suprisingly decent coral trout within casting distance of East Point on a yak. Took a shallow diving Gold/Black/Red B52 (125mm). Fish would have gone 40cm+

mitchell.phayer « Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:03 am » Build up Barra. King Ash Bay

Matt Flynn « Tue Apr 16, 2019 5:08 pm » Landbased coral trout can be done

Matt Flynn « Tue Apr 16, 2019 5:08 pm » Never caught a landbased tricky in the NT, but have caught Norwest snapper off beaches and rocks in WA

NinjaFish « Tue Apr 16, 2019 12:27 pm » There's small trickies in the harbour but I'm yet to find any pan sized.

Shane Doevy « Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:57 pm » Thanks Matt

fish4me123 « Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:06 pm » never caught a tricky land based, haen't even neted one. channel island or Matt's book

keenfisho24 « Mon Apr 15, 2019 12:02 pm » or just any good spots for landbased reef fish

keenfisho24 « Mon Apr 15, 2019 12:02 pm » any tricky snapper landbased?

Flickin4em « Sun Apr 14, 2019 11:32 am » Jerro. In and outboard are good and most parts will be in stock ... anyone with a suzuki can't beat quality marines prompt efforts too

Gibbsy « Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:47 am » Anyone been picking up any macks or tuna in harbour or lee point lately guys?

jeffish « Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:27 am » Jerro,,,I never have any probs with In &outboard marine been using them on my last 3 yammies,think you'll find most off the major dealers do good work .

Jerro « Sat Apr 13, 2019 8:13 am » Hi Lads, just chasing recommendations on a good outboard mobile mechanic for the Darwin area, thank you

Flickin4em « Fri Apr 12, 2019 8:52 pm » Unless it was a load of B.S.

Flickin4em « Fri Apr 12, 2019 6:20 pm » Put up a pic of your 110 in the metre plus club keenfisho24

keenfisho24 « Fri Apr 12, 2019 4:16 pm » gonna head out to east point, ill send you some pics if all goes to plan.

fish4me123 « Fri Apr 12, 2019 8:19 am » The mary is dirty and about 75% up the ramp. Hardies ramp water at top. corrob near top. I was suprised by the lack of flow

keenfisho24 « Thu Apr 11, 2019 11:13 pm » im gonna head down to the lizzy tommorrow. this humidity and warmup would be putting those barra on the bite. last time there i hooked onto a metre 10 and landed it.

Gibbsy « Thu Apr 11, 2019 6:10 pm » Thanks swoffa planning on taking stepdaughter for a fish next wednesday

Swoffa « Thu Apr 11, 2019 6:04 pm » Yes the pontoon is back together. Not sure if it was a permanent fix as it seemed to be held together with telecom rope. Seemed sturdy enough and I walked right to the end.

keenfisho24 « Thu Apr 11, 2019 4:41 pm » do you reckon i would clean up at the drains with some livies.

keenfisho24 « Thu Apr 11, 2019 4:40 pm » thanks captain. so is the leanyer drain right up against the waterpark fence or is it the one left of it and which one of these fishes best.

Gibbsy « Thu Apr 11, 2019 3:23 pm » Swoffa is the pontoon all back together? Cheers mate

fff1964 « Thu Apr 11, 2019 2:17 pm » Was about 8mtrs from top of ramp but not seen it since last lot of rain, will be driving over it today on way home will let you know.

maxpower « Thu Apr 11, 2019 8:13 am » Anyone been over the Mary River bridge recently, just wondering if water levels are back up at all?

Swoffa « Thu Apr 11, 2019 8:11 am » East arm ramp is good. Launched yesterday no problems

Gibbsy « Thu Apr 11, 2019 6:56 am » Any updates on east arm ramp is the pontoon still cactus guys?

barrabustin « Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:22 pm » What is the difference between Daly river mouth and Daly river crossing this time of year?

Captain6979 « Wed Apr 10, 2019 6:58 pm » Keenfisho, found that fishing drains at leanyer at about 6m is good. Salt pushes up, but tide always later than charts say.

Captain6979 « Wed Apr 10, 2019 6:57 pm » Mate reckons all the boats were off to fish in the "Secret Womens Business" fishing comp... not so secret if so many boats... ha ha!

keenfisho24 « Wed Apr 10, 2019 4:54 pm » can anyone give me some info on fishing the leanyer drains or infront of muirhead sewerfarm and give me some of the locations to fish. i plan on heading out there this weekend

Flickin4em « Wed Apr 10, 2019 1:05 pm » 2.5 m would be plenty of fishing in the poo filled creek at buffalo itself .... but 4m plus will be what you'd need if headed out to king ck or better spots in shoal bay

RedDevil « Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:58 am » can anyone tell me whats the lowest tide you can launch and retrieve a 5m boat from buff?

Flickin4em « Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:03 am » I reckon they're off to shady going off the late start to get the tide sorted or maybe a few are going out to Corroboree with a few sight seeing tourists onboard

Swoffa « Tue Apr 09, 2019 5:32 pm » Hundreds of boats heading east on the Arnhem Highway today. Someone must be in the know

Topender2 « Tue Apr 09, 2019 5:30 pm » Fingers crossed, wait and see i guess is all we can do

blowski « Tue Apr 09, 2019 5:00 pm » reckon the rain would have helped it topeder they had 100mm the other day- but thats a guess would be interested to hear

wazdog « Tue Apr 09, 2019 4:33 pm » i would suggest the later topender2, but havent heard how much water is going over the barrage. I could be wrong though

Topender2 « Tue Apr 09, 2019 10:06 am » Will the rain out shady way be enough to give it a lift or will it be tidal launching until next wet?

barrameister21 « Mon Apr 08, 2019 8:51 pm » sorry mate about the language. however i was using barbless hooks and the live bait was sourced from a different creek. the reason i also didnt see the signs because back in 2014 there were no signs facing the back bike path. and i had only been there 3 times.

keenfisho24 « Mon Apr 08, 2019 5:41 pm » lee point rocks i reckon would be the go. if not try those rocks at larrakia on a low tide or channel islanc oyster rocks on a low tide. channel islands a good place to harvest some oysters. have found a couple of large oysters there.

keenfisho24 « Mon Apr 08, 2019 5:32 pm » east point would have octopus however harvesting crustaceans, molluscs, shellfish and coral or rock is not allowed

Captain6979 « Mon Apr 08, 2019 4:15 pm » Cheers Matt, trust me, i had to rein in my original response to the post before....

Matt Flynn « Mon Apr 08, 2019 1:30 pm » well said cap'n, keep the Facebook behaviour on Facebook

Captain6979 « Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:48 am » Way to Ruin the recreational fishing at the Lakes... Next time pay more attention to signage.. n save the swearing for your other forms of "social media." no one cares for it.

Flickin4em « Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:11 am » ''Barramiester21'' the same signage that says not to eat the fish from the lakes also bans livebaiting

fish4me123 « Mon Apr 08, 2019 8:57 am » I have only caught 1 occky at cape hotham. Squid as bait. I was suprised it made it to the top as we were catching jew

Matt Flynn « Mon Apr 08, 2019 8:08 am » re the octopus I mean

Matt Flynn « Mon Apr 08, 2019 8:08 am » now that's a question not posed here before

barrameister21 « Sun Apr 07, 2019 9:42 pm » grabbed it ang boosh BASH he was bl..dy angry. He popped the surface twice and after the long fight with the annoying as SHI* 15lb braid it was an inevitable fight. after landing it i didnt know i was supposed to release the fish so i slashed his throat chucked him on the pushiie and rid up that hill F*CKING ZOOM ZOOM raced up that hill And freaking filleted that fish like a boss that frame was as clean as bone and the sking made a silky shiny tan hide and let me tell you brined it put in for 5 minutes in milk and crumbed him. nothing wrong with it.
