May be hard getting info on the place, mate every one gets bit cagey this time year on the daly with the population growing by the min , and any you do may be false in regards to access ring the cop shop down there for access roads open etc and i dare say it would be running high . One the kind darwin folk may pm you with bit info.

lol ponyplay nail it.

if your going down this weekend make sure you're there early and just follow the crowds - that's what everyone else does!

I know someone who fished it a couple of days ago. Not a lot of fish though. Lots of cr.p in the river

Years of trial and error should see ya right.

come on you lousy mongrels , give the bloke the heads up few secret creeks snags if its open etc. It is a huge river plenty room no white man owns it, mean while over in the kimberley the sounds of crickets and crocodiles farting drifts down the river

Muckum... Grab yourself a copy of the latest fishfinder book mate , full of info and not only the daly, theres a lot of big trees and logs floating down at this time of the year so just be carefull and yeah like others have said boats will be where the fish are so look and learn and joint the conga lines

ditto
not much good me giving any help. my mojo is dead and buried

I'm a Daly virgin as well, even though I've been here 3 and a half years, but thought what the heck I'll give it a go this weekend for a bit of fun. Hopefully we get a couple but if not should still be a fun weekend on the water with the family.

Rivers open. No bait as yet as it is all up on the flood plains. Find some colour change and fish on the down stream side of creek mouths in the swirling dirty/clean water. Fish big still as the little bait isn't hatched yet. Wont get many but still a chance of a meter plus fish. Go down till the banks are all exposed. Probably from Elizabeth down. 30km or so.

Weedless plastics in the reeds.

Look for where all the flash boats with the things that look like flat screen TV's are trolling near the the banks
Pull up to the bank and throw your anchor up on it and throw a few livies out
Just wach out for the wash off their boats as they increase their trolling speed to about 70kph LOL

It's dropping like a stone, go down past Moon Billabong. As you fly past Moon, stop opposite the outlet and give it a good work over..........

Isnt moon billabong outlet the start of the seasonable no fish zone.

Don't go past Moon Billabong. Closed season at the moment. You might cop a day in court and a hefty fine. The cops will know that people will be heading there this weekend.
