Well like so many fisho's new to the NT, I really struggled to find any fish when I first started. I spent many trips out in mates boats catching fish, but donuts when I was the skipper.
I bought my boat 12 months ago and after many $$$$ spent, and sleepless nights trying to work out where I was going wrong, I have finally managed to get a few nice fish in the boat and had some good feeds. I've also had some big lures getting smashed, and either pulling the hooks, or never being seen again so I know there are some monsters out there just waiting for me. I had a fish jumping beside the boat with my huge gold lure still in its mouth on Saturday, so if anyone catches it can you please return it to me!
I never got too disenheartened, as I knew all I needed was a little bit of luck. And how can you have a bad day on the water up here. Hopefully my photos do justice to some of the great spots I have seen in these awesome conditions.
Here are a few samples from recent trips to the Gunn Point Blue Holes, Lee Point, East Point, Larrakeyah Rock Wall and Woods Inlet.
