JimmyTaylor « Mon Apr 23, 2018 11:41 pm » there are a few schools of queenies out the front of nightcliff jetty too

Eman « Mon Apr 23, 2018 7:40 pm » It did the job, I am sure other surface lures would work just as well just get there early morning and have a crack.

Gibbsy « Mon Apr 23, 2018 7:11 pm » Cheers man, for 60bucks would want to catch fish

Gibbsy « Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:05 pm » Haha no worries jeffish. Actually run out of jewie so looking at going for morning run early Sunday. Glad you got amongst them

Eman « Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:29 pm » He used to use an italian design pencil popper, $60 worth went with him on my boat, and boated a fair few.

Eman « Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:26 pm » For queens, try east point, where the reserve starts race course creek side, use pencil poppers over that reefie area there are some big queenies just sitting there. Old mate used to launch a kayak and smash them there.

Flickin4em « Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:07 pm » Just searched kakadu checking up on an ol faithful spot old jimjim rd forecast to open at soth alligator crossing in JUNE!!!

Luke35 « Mon Apr 23, 2018 3:11 pm » Just checked road report.. it’s open to high clearance 4wd. Must have been in the last 2 hours cos I checked this morning and was closed..

Flickin4em « Mon Apr 23, 2018 2:33 pm » They must have a cloud parked over the ramp road keeping it " flooded" as the Dalys 15 metres of floodwater is already gone.

Flickin4em « Mon Apr 23, 2018 2:23 pm » How bad is it ?

Edo « Mon Apr 23, 2018 2:19 pm » YEP..............been closed for weeks now

Luke35 « Mon Apr 23, 2018 1:11 pm » Is there a road closed sign up at the saltwater arm road?

jeffish « Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:46 am » And thanks for your Jewie post last week , we went for a similar run and cleaned up ,,, Cheers

jeffish « Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:44 am » Hey Gibbsy ,,there were a lot of Queenies smashing bait along the rock groins near Two fella ck sunday arvo , some bigins amongst em , but we were too shagged after pulling jews all night

Gibbsy « Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:23 am » Cheers guys was planning on taking boat this Saturday on building springs to try between mandorah and West Point on outgoing, and around lee point on low up until incoming

NinjaFish « Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:47 pm » The biggest I've hooked have been from the middle of Woods Inlet and across Mandorah but wide and around West Pt in close but not too close! Clear water is better if deeper but I've caught some monsters on live Mullet in dirty water about 3 ft deep.

Matt Flynn « Sun Apr 22, 2018 4:35 pm » the big ones often loners, i would get them trolling rips around headlands, smalle fish in schools off Cullen Bay and Larrakeyah, West Point to Charles Point is good, also the rock outcrops off Dundee including along beach from the ramp to Bynoe, they also bust up on the flats on incoming tide

Gibbsy « Sun Apr 22, 2018 2:57 pm » Gibbsy

Gibbsy « Sun Apr 22, 2018 2:57 pm » Can anyone share some pointers on targeting queenfish around Darwin via boat. Keen on taking boat out and chasing them on surface lures but never seem to find them in large numbers. Do you chase on heaps when clarity is better like for mackies and tuna or work around springs. Thinking of working around West Point area and lee point reefs but trying to work out better tides and wether to focus around high or low. Any info will be much appreciated. Cheers

craig.g « Sat Apr 21, 2018 11:18 am » thanks flickin

Captain6979 « Sat Apr 21, 2018 9:45 am » Had an entertaining morning at the Buff, watching the queue of boats waiting to get out, and lined up like wilderbeast in Africa, to see who was gunna go first, to try get past the sandbars.....gold..

Flickin4em « Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:50 am » I run a 60W bar on my tinny 6x 10W led from RTM for under 200 18 months on has been thrashed on dirt roads and abused in the ocean and goes well still

Edo « Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:00 am » Jaycar

NinjaFish « Fri Apr 20, 2018 6:37 pm » Carcom were clearing a few discontinued lights a while back at half price so I put 2 on and the water buffalo don't stand a chance now.

Matt Flynn « Fri Apr 20, 2018 6:31 pm » Have a look for my old Nikon while you are there

NinjaFish « Fri Apr 20, 2018 6:26 pm » Submarine?

Edo « Thu Apr 19, 2018 11:55 am » The Salt Water Arm boat ramp road mate

FITZY « Thu Apr 19, 2018 10:57 am » What road are you talking about Edo ?

Edo « Thu Apr 19, 2018 10:39 am » Anyone got any contacts in the council.............SWA road closure for "flooding" is beyond a joke now

NinjaFish « Thu Apr 19, 2018 9:45 am » It’s definitely here. The smoke has started over Belyuen way.

wazdog « Thu Apr 19, 2018 9:23 am » This morning was the first hint (and I say a small hint) that the dry is here, a little coolness to the air this morning at 6.30am at leanyer!!! Bring on the Dry!!!

Matt Flynn « Wed Apr 18, 2018 7:09 pm » Dragonflies were wrong? ... http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR631.loop.shtml#skip

NinjaFish « Tue Apr 17, 2018 5:38 pm » https://dpir.nt.gov.au/fisheries/fisher ... e-your-say Waiting, waiting. They must be on holidays.

goldfish « Mon Apr 16, 2018 5:14 pm » Also the total lack ov decent rain for the last fair few weeks only seeing isolated "knock em down "storms is a bit of a dead giveaway too.

NinjaFish « Mon Apr 16, 2018 4:43 pm » Yep. Bit of fog around this morning too.

Swoffa « Mon Apr 16, 2018 3:46 pm » I would be calling this the start of the Dry. Plenty of dragonflies and a decent southeaster.

Lats « Mon Apr 16, 2018 11:56 am » Got plenty Edo

Edo « Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:21 am » Unlucky Lats, did you get any fish prior to it going over?

Flickin4em « Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:17 pm » In crew joke there @smokindrag shaggs will know what I'm talking about

Sullo « Sun Apr 15, 2018 8:51 pm » Thats no good Lats,I was flicking a little SP around a couple weeks ago,got snagged on a tree so i give it a good flick and got it off,only prob it came back and took the top 8in off a brand new bronzeback

balou « Sun Apr 15, 2018 6:56 pm » Ouch Expensive trip Lats

jeffish « Sun Apr 15, 2018 12:30 pm » Hard luck Lats ,I know how you feel , Iknow how you feel I've killed 3 rods and reels over the last couple of weeks, hence no fishing for bazz ATM .

Lats « Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:34 am » Sure was bucky

bucky007 « Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:20 am » haha bugger. was it yours?

Lats « Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:16 am » But if there is any wobble in the lure there is probably a barra towing it around

Lats « Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:15 am » If anyone wants a great barra combo for free there is a 6kg venom rod and calcutta filled with 30lb suffix and a Reidy's Big B52 in the new tropical thunder in about 4m of water as you enter Sampan about 50m inside the mouth

ozdodge « Sat Apr 14, 2018 2:33 pm » Thx Lats

Lats « Sat Apr 14, 2018 1:49 pm » Yes you will need tide

ozdodge « Sat Apr 14, 2018 1:41 pm » Is Shady launch tidal only yet? Thx

craig.g « Sat Apr 14, 2018 1:07 pm » cheers swoffa

Matt Flynn « Sat Apr 14, 2018 10:26 am » there is a picture series in the FISH FINDER book getting out on a spring low, courtesy the knowledge of Agent86 on here

hobbit « Sat Apr 14, 2018 9:25 am » can anyone tell me if you can get in and out of the blue holes at a 1.6m low

Swoffa « Sat Apr 14, 2018 8:55 am » Closed at the SWA turnoff. Gunn Pt Road was pretty good yesterday all the way to Leaders.

craig.g « Sat Apr 14, 2018 8:08 am » anyone know what road to SWA is like at moment

b-radical « Fri Apr 13, 2018 9:09 pm » >Edo, sounds pretty cool will be having a looksy this sunday, try get some screen shots

Edo « Fri Apr 13, 2018 3:25 pm » @b-radical.......it is a great update

Flickin4em « Thu Apr 12, 2018 11:35 pm » Did another quad lap post to come a bit later when i get around to it ... i cleaned up on case you were wondering

Flickin4em « Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:32 pm » Sew them up a bit helps heaps with durability... but ones that have been hit sometimes wont take any more bites

Scotty69 « Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:26 pm » Yes Tangels, best skip bait as the leathery skin holds them together for longer. Cairns fleet use them alot for the big girls too for that very reason.

b-radical « Thu Apr 12, 2018 1:03 pm » New updates for Lowrance units FYI (fish Reveal)

Merlanko « Thu Apr 12, 2018 8:39 am » Thanks LATS will give him a try

Lats « Thu Apr 12, 2018 3:33 am » George at NT Unique fixes them

Merlanko « Wed Apr 11, 2018 5:18 pm » Hi All, ANy chance anyone knows someone that will fix minn kota?

jonr « Wed Apr 11, 2018 10:40 am » They are good as a swim bait

tangels « Tue Apr 10, 2018 9:47 pm » does anyone use small skinnys for skipping bait up here???

tangels « Tue Apr 10, 2018 9:45 pm » look out Dundee just caught bait ,, hopefuly snag my first NT bill fish this weekend... yeeew.

Redshaw83 « Tue Apr 10, 2018 1:27 pm » Cheers hottuna. Going to go out wide and see how the blue water is fishing.

FishMick « Tue Apr 10, 2018 11:58 am » If anybody finds the end of my lure retriever pole, lost at Shady Camp mouth on inside of the first bend. should be above low tide level. 0424842688 (never know your luck)

hottuna « Tue Apr 10, 2018 11:36 am » You'll have no worries down to 2metres ATM but if it's Barra you are chasing there are plenty of places fishing much better
