gday every one. i am originally from Katherine and have recently made the
move to elcho island. the last time i fished in salt water was around 95 so i
have a bit to learn. i love fishing at remote creeks and billabongs and have a great setup for inland fishing

my wife got me a new boat for Christmas and i am going to have a lot of
questions about saltwater fishing gear and tactics so i hope i don't annoy to
many people.

Gidday Sheps, welcome to FFF. Plenty of fish at Galiwinku. You will have a ball with the GT's and Mack's. Southern end of the island on the Milingimbi side (north side I guess) is a safe bet. Barra around the bombies inshore. Plenty of goldies on the reefs as well as trout, reds etc. Painted cray heaven too ! From memory 2nd creek at night with a torch and handspear was a good spot. Just watch out for jaws with red eyes. cheers
