hottuna « Sat Aug 18, 2018 8:33 pm » Anybody thinking of heading to Dundee tomorrow should be aware the ramp in now min 3.5m. Even at that height capable cars are still getting stuck. This means retrieving before 2pm or probably after 8pm depending on line up

JimmyTaylor « Tue Aug 07, 2018 9:54 pm » Dont get lost fishing FishHunter81..... and the road is like a dogs breakfast mate..... mite be better off boating from Dundee

Gibbsy « Tue Aug 07, 2018 6:51 pm » No worries fish hunter like I said the ones in harbour were finicky and only eating tiny bait some 15gram gillies would of done the job. Flukes a couple of queenies on 10cm roosta poppers. I know the ones out Dundee way aren’t too bad usually so alright on bigger lures. Good luck mate

STANDY « Tue Aug 07, 2018 4:02 pm » Mates up from Melbourne next Sunday heading for a fish for 3-4 days how's the Daly on springs this time of the year ? Any advice will help.

fishhunter81 « Tue Aug 07, 2018 1:55 pm » Awesome Gibbsy. That gives me confidence that if they're around there then they're likely to be out and about off Dundee as well, cheers.

Gibbsy « Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:50 pm » Big school of queenies, tuna and Mack’s near mandorah, 6 mile area yesterday lunchtime only eating small bait but they hung around for couple of hours

fishhunter81 « Tue Aug 07, 2018 11:23 am » Has anyone been around Dundee Offshore or Sail City lately? If yes, has there been much bait/tuna action? Cheers.

FishinPunk « Sat Aug 04, 2018 9:22 pm » re Clyde......was out there yesterday morning and they started pulling the anchor chains up.

Wrighty « Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:54 pm » re Clyde - just seen the update on the post, sounds like its confirmed then....

Wrighty « Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:49 pm » Went out there a while back and they were talking about intentions to hire out the place to groups but not sure if they are still going ahead with that idea

Wrighty « Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:47 pm » Swamp donkey - you would need permission from the owners mate as it is private property

Wrighty « Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:46 pm » Sounds like the Stena Clyde will be leaving early next week. Just got told now, not sure if 100% true

swamp_donkey89 « Sat Aug 04, 2018 4:04 pm » How do people get access & or permissions to launch boats out at Howard river mouth? Thanks in advance

Gibbsy « Fri Aug 03, 2018 8:08 am » Dream rider I was out at my mates block out at tortilla flats last weekend. The fish are still there just gotta annoy them abit to get them to bite. We did well with zerek vibes and 3 inch zmans in chartreuse worked slow if the lure wasn’t deep the fish didn’t look at it. Ended up catching 5 Barra 3 were legal. They are there just gotta be persistent good luck

Jer « Thu Aug 02, 2018 10:38 pm » Tales interview the Minister - http://www.abc.net.au/radio/darwin/prog ... t/10066418

Dreamrider- « Thu Aug 02, 2018 9:22 pm » is marrakai crossing any good for a barra atm? been wanting to try but never had a chance

Sullo « Thu Aug 02, 2018 5:49 pm » Catain you can still google their FB page and get the info

Captain6979 « Thu Aug 02, 2018 5:15 pm » Cheers Blowski. unfortunately im not on the Book of Face, but i shall check em out somehow. Thanks matey!

blowski « Thu Aug 02, 2018 4:56 pm » barramundi adventures darwin they are on facebook captain.

Captain6979 « Thu Aug 02, 2018 4:29 pm » Anyone know who runs the stocked-lake for Barra fishing out at Humpty Doo? Would like to take the nephew out there.

Big Col « Thu Aug 02, 2018 2:18 pm » Unfortunately Jeno that will never happen as this only applies in the NT

b-radical « Thu Aug 02, 2018 12:56 pm » KO66 Knock out rust worth using on my trailer springs (getting new ones very soon)

Jer « Wed Aug 01, 2018 7:52 pm » Thanks Tristan, unfortunately when it comes to the matter of Permits and Land Rights, there are a lot of people who really have no idea of the situation or the complexities involved. For that un-education I partly blame the individual for not getting involved themselves but the majority of my blame sits directly with the Government and AFANT (both past and present administrations). Admittedly, I've never attended an AFANT AGM or read a newsletter as I'm not a member, I've not seen a lot of education around the matter.

Scotty69 « Wed Aug 01, 2018 3:28 pm » @ Jeno. Maybe not a permit but I believe you need a fishing licence to fish in NSW.............

Jeno « Wed Aug 01, 2018 12:30 pm » Yes, you can thank the High Court for this situation....I would like to see a permit system applied to Sydney Harbour....not much chance of that!

tristan.sloan « Wed Aug 01, 2018 10:59 am » Some insightful comments Jer, well said not many people have your level of understanding

Jer « Tue Jul 31, 2018 8:17 pm » 9 News Facebook video: https://www.facebook.com/9NewsDarwin/vi ... 452430451/

NinjaFish « Tue Jul 31, 2018 7:28 pm » Interesting point on Ch 9 from NLC that paper based is progressing to electronic! We will pay! Hopefully along The lines of Tassie:)

NinjaFish « Tue Jul 31, 2018 6:26 pm » It made the TV & radio today but can't find any links online yet but AFANT & NLC both had comments. Could be media / NCL stirring a storm again but seems to be another response to the 'Blue Mud Bay' which has still not been addressed by any Government.

al57 « Tue Jul 31, 2018 5:45 pm » will be back up there for a holiday again in october for 3 weeks

al57 « Tue Jul 31, 2018 5:44 pm » hi all new to forum ,spent 4 years in darwin from 98 to 02 absolutly love the place

Jer « Tue Jul 31, 2018 4:59 pm » Re resourcing, that's why the Government amended the Fisheries Act to allow particular Rangers to act in the capacity of Water Police (to one degree or other, I don't think I'm exactly correct in what I've said). You would want to hope that any potential permit is a reasonable cost. But in saying all that, for the last 10 years the NLC consistently said they are going to introduce permits and then the NTG has brought them back to the negotiating table. Who knows if that's going to continue..

Captain6979 « Tue Jul 31, 2018 4:12 pm » Guess they better employ more people to enforce it then, cos they won't be able to keep up... permits better be cheap in any case, and valid for ever once you get one.

Jer « Tue Jul 31, 2018 3:48 pm » Captain, problem is that any Government that follows won't change a thing.. At the end of the day, the TOs have the legal right to apply permits to their land thanks to the High Court. All the Government can do is negotiate (from a disadvantage at that) to allow rec fishos access to fish.

Captain6979 « Tue Jul 31, 2018 2:40 pm » Permits for recreational fishing?....you can kiss that Government goodbye..

Big Col « Tue Jul 31, 2018 1:59 pm » any more details ninjafish?

NinjaFish « Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:05 am » Just heard on the wireless, fishing permits required from the first of January- ABC / NLC

djc « Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:07 pm » Channel island land based

Gibbsy « Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:05 pm » Yep she can’t stop talking about it haha. Proud of her though once again thanks mate

Matt Flynn « Mon Jul 30, 2018 8:19 pm » Cheers Gibbsy, thanks for posting them, hope the paper brought a bit of joy

Gibbsy « Mon Jul 30, 2018 7:34 pm » Thanks mate for chucking those photos in the paper my stepdaughter taking paper into school tomorrow to show her fish off

Captain6979 « Mon Jul 30, 2018 6:07 pm » will do ninja. I'll take a look. I know they play the google game and sus out the rod models, but def take a look. cheers!:)

NinjaFish « Mon Jul 30, 2018 5:37 pm » Captain. Check out Cash Converters on Bagot Road or out at Palmy. I've come across $300 rods for $50.

b-radical « Mon Jul 30, 2018 1:09 pm » Covered some water feeds unlucky i guess should be clearer water this weekend

fishhunter81 « Mon Jul 30, 2018 7:25 am » Can anyone provide an update on the recent conditions of the Channel Point Road

feeds « Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:55 pm » On Saturday I checked everywhere from Lee Point - Fentons - Charles Point and everywhere in between. Saw no tuna and maybe about 10 birds in total. Was a tough day....

feeds « Fri Jul 27, 2018 8:12 pm » Thanks for the tip b-radical!

Captain6979 « Fri Jul 27, 2018 6:47 pm » Hey team, looking for a heavy spin rod for my shimano Spheros 8000 reel, to slay jewies/macks with. eg 10-20kg rod . 2nd hand is sweet! pm me please if anyone is looking to part with one.

b-radical « Fri Jul 27, 2018 5:06 pm » feeds listen to the latest Tinny program some good tips shared for tuna fishing

feeds « Thu Jul 26, 2018 8:07 pm » Yeah the other day queenfish were around six-mile. Big school of about 75cm fish.

Matt Flynn « Thu Jul 26, 2018 7:22 pm » I called the Darwin shops today, most reports were queenfish, heaps off East Point, and some broadbar and spanish macks off Lee Point

feeds « Thu Jul 26, 2018 7:08 pm » Has anyone seen many tuna out the front of Darwin Harbour? Few southerners up here and want to get them a couple if I can.

Melv « Thu Jul 26, 2018 1:55 pm » Yeah, still got em mate. If they do disappear I just stick my finger up my bum and scare em out :-)

. Winters been pretty mild compared to what I was preparing for, at least here on the coast. Running the heater way less than we ran the aircon up there. Trout season kicks off soon so I’m about to embark on a steep learning curve.........

Gibbsy « Wed Jul 25, 2018 7:01 pm » For anyone who is interested did overnighted at corroboree Sunday night fishing was abit slow, got a few Barra, and a toga and froze my nuts off. Will do a post when I have time. Water temp was 27 degrees then dropped to about 25 degrees

jeffish « Tue Jul 24, 2018 5:31 pm » Hi mate , you still got a pair or have they frozzzzzen and dropped off .

Melv « Tue Jul 24, 2018 5:03 pm » G,Day Jeffo

Ben Jam « Mon Jul 23, 2018 11:31 pm » Thanks mate I’ll give them a call tomorrow.

Flickin4em « Mon Jul 23, 2018 7:37 pm » Upgrade the drag while you're at it.

Flickin4em « Mon Jul 23, 2018 12:35 pm » Benjam Fishing n Outdoor would probably have it in stock ...no kit as such as far as I'm aware spool bearings are about $10 each and level wind worm drive bushes wouldn't be much. The big money is in the one way bearing for the handle if well looked after it can be cleaned and re-oiled. Chronarchs are p..s easy to work on give it a go

Ben Jam « Sun Jul 22, 2018 8:59 pm » Cheers mate.

jeffish « Sun Jul 22, 2018 5:17 pm » Ben Jam , deepblack still does reel service send him a PM ,, great work

balou « Sun Jul 22, 2018 2:42 pm » Was at leaders on Friday and it was still $20. When did it go up to $30.

Ben Jam « Sun Jul 22, 2018 11:47 am » Or does anyone still provide reel servicing on here?

Ben Jam « Sun Jul 22, 2018 11:36 am » Does anyone know in Darwin know where I can get bear/washer kit for an old chronarch?

jeffish « Sat Jul 21, 2018 11:53 pm » I wish

Lats « Sat Jul 21, 2018 4:48 pm » Jeff, you haven't been thieving jewies from a certain spot have you?

jeffish « Sat Jul 21, 2018 9:38 am » $30 at Leaders ,it went up this year
