Went for a fish at Shady camp barrage thursday night with Mud.
Rained all night and we caught half a dozen rats and Mud got 1 keeper. I got a bl..dy stinkin powertail too..
Anyway, coming home about 1am, I was driving across adelaide river bridge then in the headlights BAM!
big crocodile about 3.5/4m laying across the road with his mouth open. had to swerve to miss him.
Thought I was seeing things so turned around and went back.
He was slowly waddling off the bridge and Mud tried to get a photo with my crappy camera but we only got 1 dodgy shot.
Mud wanted the pic so I thought id post it up anyway.
Cheers.
Surprise!

Re: Surprise!
waddling is right....looks like it's not just the bazza getting fat this time of year
fish are skinny, the ocean is fat

He was fat as!
We blew past it and if there had not been a gap he probably would have rolled us.
Guess its a warning for culvert fishos...being on the bridge doesnt ensure safety.
Last trip out Sarrge and I nearly hit a DONKEY near Anaburru. Time before that I nearly hit a PIG the size of a hippo standing in the middle of the road.
What next? A giraffe?

Its not a crisis unless there is blood around.
If there is blood around......well its a police matter...

As they say (only in the NT).
Fishing is a passion only fishermen understand.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
