Captain6979 « Sat Sep 22, 2018 9:55 am » Theo, I reckon they would all be great calls Buddy!:)

Widdi « Sat Sep 22, 2018 9:52 am » Gday everyone, heading up to Darwin from Canberra for some R and R next week but cant imagine not throwing a few lures LB whilst I am there. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Fished the Finniss a couple of weeks ago on Mothership and did pretty well but only doing a short trip this time, and as I said more R & R than hard fishing. :-)

theodosius « Sat Sep 22, 2018 9:17 am » 5 fish with million dollar tags, first in best dressed. 20 extra fish and longer season

Captain6979 « Fri Sep 21, 2018 5:07 pm » yes, theyve opened waaaay earlier in previous years, because theyve had media releases previous years have said things like: thousands have already registered for the MDF comp, etc etc.. Anyways, expect bulk-bulk rego this year, economy is down, expectations are high, and fishing is fishing!!

Marro « Fri Sep 21, 2018 4:27 pm » I queried MDF organisers about registration and they advised they open on 1 October. I’m sure they opened earlier in previous years.

joeycee « Fri Sep 21, 2018 10:17 am » We have all done it! Cheers for the feedback @flickin4em

Matt Flynn « Fri Sep 21, 2018 9:18 am » Hearing rumours that it might be getting bigger, announcement must be soon, given the date ...

bonefishrobbo « Thu Sep 20, 2018 11:15 pm » Hey Matt whats going on with MDF4 ? You cant register and I havent seen any advertising for it and it starts in 10 days ! Maybe a drama with sponsers ???

Matt Flynn « Thu Sep 20, 2018 10:29 am » if you can get out on neaps when there is no wind and clear water, some big fish potential, I mean out the front, not the barrage

Flickin4em « Thu Sep 20, 2018 10:29 am » Mate went out the other day. .. barra to 70ish and spent a few hrs on the mud drinking beer after missing the channel by 40m

joeycee « Thu Sep 20, 2018 10:25 am » what is shady camp like at this time of the year?

Flickin4em « Wed Sep 19, 2018 11:31 pm » Hell yeah... thx daz for the update

Daz12 « Wed Sep 19, 2018 4:09 pm » Just got back from SWA. Roads just been graded. Smooth as but pretty dusty. Only have to slow down for the road works....

Tabspro « Wed Sep 19, 2018 3:17 pm » Thanks flickin. Slow and steady

Flickin4em « Wed Sep 19, 2018 1:40 pm » Yep .. tabs pro its road's not real flash though.

Tabspro « Wed Sep 19, 2018 1:31 pm » Is saltwater arm boat ramp open

b-radical « Wed Sep 19, 2018 7:39 am » Bought 3 tubs yesterday, just cut em up first

Matt Flynn « Tue Sep 18, 2018 7:14 pm » just had two tubs of strawberries, supporting the farmers

deepblack « Tue Sep 18, 2018 12:30 pm » x2 for Chris Hurt in the Harbour.

b-radical « Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:38 pm » yes i do, thanks Matt

Matt Flynn « Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:18 pm » If you mean in the harbour, Chris Hurt - ask for him at Fishing and Outdoor World

b-radical « Sun Sep 16, 2018 8:23 pm » Hi Guys and Girls can you recommend a guide for Darwin Harbour or can take me out my boats still on tyres whilst i wait for the trailer frame to be made. cheers

JAH « Sun Sep 16, 2018 5:13 pm » A few follows and vey light taps and spotted a couple cruising snags but just weren't interested

Flickin4em « Sun Sep 16, 2018 5:08 pm » Many fish out there JAH.?? thats where i got my red tag 10 days too late

JAH « Sun Sep 16, 2018 5:03 pm » Just got back from Finniss fresh ramp is fine a little drop at the end but u don't need to go that far in unless your in a huge boat.

dannett « Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:20 pm » cHEERS FELLAS

Flickin4em « Sun Sep 16, 2018 1:04 pm » Yep ... better off on the old rock bar ramp to the right at hardies from july onwards, much better shade trees for the ute there too

fish4me123 « Sat Sep 15, 2018 2:34 pm » hardies is a ripper

Flickin4em « Sat Sep 15, 2018 1:42 am » Dannet , yep it'd be the same as every year ... the hole on the end of the ramp is caused by everyone flooring it to drive on the trailer then holding it there with half revs while they sort the D shackle out .. it's pretty common on most ramps ends up here nowadays, hardies lagoon is a ripper too.

jeffish « Fri Sep 14, 2018 10:04 pm » tangels PM sent .

hottuna « Fri Sep 14, 2018 9:43 pm » Still there Dannett

dannett « Fri Sep 14, 2018 7:18 pm » Anyone used Hardcastle road boatramp lately? Last year there was a big drop at the end, I am expecting it's still there...

dannett « Fri Sep 14, 2018 7:17 pm » That's a decent app.

Captain6979 « Fri Sep 14, 2018 2:50 pm » haha

Edo « Fri Sep 14, 2018 2:48 pm » yeah what flicken said

Flickin4em « Fri Sep 14, 2018 12:30 pm » Purchase the navonics app captain. .. pretty good detail for a bit over 20 bucks

Captain6979 « Fri Sep 14, 2018 11:09 am » All good for seats in the Punt i reckon Team, but im chasing a hand-held GPS for it now. Thought if someone has upgraded, give me a PM please.

Gibbsy « Wed Sep 12, 2018 10:58 pm » That’s what I’d be doing soak some pots and fish the snake drains and flats in either bynoe or Darwin harbour good luck coops

craig.g « Wed Sep 12, 2018 7:50 pm » cheers feeds

COOPS « Wed Sep 12, 2018 5:05 pm » cheers gibbsy, might be better to throw some pots in and fish the flats

Tinny Basher « Wed Sep 12, 2018 4:38 pm » vibes

Gibbsy « Wed Sep 12, 2018 2:38 pm » FISh shallow for big tides and deep on heaps coops, think you may struggle at fenton to get bottom unless you use a lot of weight then around the turns can be good

COOPS « Wed Sep 12, 2018 12:44 pm » Thinking of spending a few days on the harbour. The next few days with the wind good early is it worth shooting out to fentons, south gutter etc for the morning high then get back in to try the flats?? Haven't fished the harbour on these big tides much

feeds « Wed Sep 12, 2018 11:03 am » I've heard 3.5-4 metres should keep you out of trouble.

craig.g « Tue Sep 11, 2018 8:34 pm » does anyone know what tide is the OK for launching & retrieving at Dundee at the moment??

Captain6979 « Mon Sep 10, 2018 9:19 pm » looking for 2 bench-seats for the punt, if anyone has any in decent nick, and wanna trade some rum for them?;) feel free to shoot me a pm if so folks..

Tinny Basher « Mon Sep 10, 2018 12:51 pm » cheers daz

Daz12 « Sun Sep 09, 2018 7:52 pm » Went out Thursday Basher. First couple of kays a bit rough as usual then not too bad until Leaders turn-off. Road to SWA corrugated but seen worse. Pretty dusty though with the road works

Tinny Basher « Sun Sep 09, 2018 11:11 am » anyone done gunn point road lately?

simmo60 « Sat Sep 08, 2018 3:05 pm » The gaff was handy-just not sporting. They'll be there later for someone else.

deepblack « Sat Sep 08, 2018 11:27 am » Sneaking up on them and touching them with a rod tip is funny as, they poop bricks

tangels « Sat Sep 08, 2018 11:20 am » Yeah I say sleeping my pet baz dose the samething

deepblack « Sat Sep 08, 2018 11:19 am » Sleeping

simmo60 « Sat Sep 08, 2018 10:30 am » 2 x metre plus barra, swimming 90 degrees head down side by side in about 10 feet of water. Threw everything at them but no interest. Even brushed a soft plastic along the side of one. Nothing! Possible spawning behaviour?

NinjaFish « Fri Sep 07, 2018 11:46 am » You can spot small schools holding up against the rocks at low tide from the jetty if you wearing polarised sunnies.

feeds « Thu Sep 06, 2018 6:56 pm » Awesome, thanks guys. I will give it a go

Eman « Thu Sep 06, 2018 12:10 pm » Try burley off the rocks behind the nightcliff swimming pool on a dropping tide while you are at it throw out a live gar big queenies cruise past there. Make sure u are on the lower section of the rocks.

Eman « Thu Sep 06, 2018 12:05 pm » Gars come close at Lee point caught heaps in drag nets over the years if you want burley them you have to get your wind and tides right.

Flickin4em « Thu Sep 06, 2018 11:41 am » Doubt it .... but good luck

feeds « Thu Sep 06, 2018 11:31 am » Cheers fellas. Reckon this will work land-based around lee point?

Flickin4em « Thu Sep 06, 2018 10:33 am » Or burley up a bit on your reef and add tuna oil ....theyll be there in minutes, tiny hooks on 6lb mono will get plenty of good sized ones

Eman « Thu Sep 06, 2018 10:31 am » Hit Nightcliff jetty at night burley up with bread and get someone who is handy with a net for fresh gar.

purdy « Thu Sep 06, 2018 3:07 am » How much tide do you need to get in and out of Buffalo Creek these days? Been a while since I last fished Shoal Bay

feeds « Thu Sep 06, 2018 12:12 am » Hey fellas, anywhere you get fresh gar around Darwin? Or do you just catch your own before heading out?

I Wish « Wed Sep 05, 2018 9:26 pm » I wonder where the East Point Platform will be located?

NinjaFish « Wed Sep 05, 2018 6:32 pm » Flanagans Consulting Group. Tenders & Quotations awarded page 18 in the business section

Hemi « Wed Sep 05, 2018 6:29 pm » Awarded to who ninja..? Nothing on nt gov tenders site.

NinjaFish « Wed Sep 05, 2018 6:08 pm » NT News today. 2 tenders awarded for design of Land Based Fishing Platforms at Cullen Bay worth 86k & East Point with 95k. It's a great start.

NinjaFish « Tue Sep 04, 2018 7:45 pm » Bring on the wet. Have to wonder why this ship wasn't sent to sea. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-04/j ... e/10200814

Scotty69 « Tue Sep 04, 2018 2:31 pm » Cheers captain

Captain6979 « Tue Sep 04, 2018 12:30 pm » There are definitely no water-trucks out that way keeping dust down today!

Captain6979 « Tue Sep 04, 2018 12:10 pm » Scotty, our truck driver just delivered some steel out there for some Culverts, he got back 5 min ago. Said the first 30km is rough as guts, and is like driving thru clouds of agent orange, 10m visibility.

Scotty69 « Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:53 am » Cheers trent

trent « Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:51 am » Gunn Point roads OK, start is always chopped up but after that the bypass track iis fine

Scotty69 « Tue Sep 04, 2018 9:59 am » Any one know the condition of Gunn Point Road to Leaders at the moment??
