Howdy,
We've been in Darwin for 5 years & never been to shady camp. We now have a vessel that's comfortable enough to sleep on so decided to get out there.
We left Thurday & returned Sunday with the Idea of fishing the mouth of Sampan Thursday arvo and Friday to beat the weekend crowds then go to Tommycut for Saturday & Sunday. We ended up in in Tommycut Friday arvo as Sampan was too crowded on Friday.
We fished the reef on our way to Tommycut for 2x 105M jewies. We couldn't pull a fish from Sampan despite the amount of fish on the sounder, they just would not bite.
We caught a few in Tommycut, with 2x going 86cm.
Camped in a small creek as our anchor would not hold in the main streams and aids in dodging storms.
would love to add more pics but it's a little tedious on a PC

It is not how long the fish is but how long you have fished & how long you've wished.......

suprisingly good. We did have the thermocells out before going to bed but not on all the time. They were pretty tame.

Looks like a comfortable set up you've got there. Tight lines.
