Went for the first Fishing Trip with the boys in the New Year on Sunday, was starting to get the FT's and needed a fix, Launched at Buffalo Creek at around 7.30am and had a great cruise over to Gunn Point and the Blue holes.
Was a bit rougher coming back in the arvo, expected a light Norwester but the storms going across Darwin meant we had a Southwester to come home into, never mind wasn't too bad
The fishing was a bit slow to start with, we managed to find a heap of Barra hiding in the usual spots, it was fun trying to get them to eat our lures, watching them sitting there tailing in the small mangroves and flying out and smacking the lures was amazing, trouble was they would eat the kids lure and spit it out before they ne w what was going on, they werent watching quite as good as me, damn 60-70cm Barra playing hard to get, even the smaller ones wouldnt have a go after we missed a couple, unfortunately we didnt land any there , i hooked a couple for a brief moment only to have them spit the lures back at us.
I visited a favourite creek and pulled a small Jack from a snag there, Nic managed a little Barra as well on a Reidy's weedless pulled through the mangrove roots, there was a school of 5 or 6 hiding under one tree. there was a bit of fresh water coming out of a few of the small creeks into the deeper water which was good to see, plenty of bait around the place too.
It was fun cruising along the edge and around the shallows with the electric, the water was pretty clear surprisingly and there were plenty of small flag and parrot fish as well as others willing to fly out from under a bommy and slam whatever we were throwing around. We managed to get onto some small trevally and queenfish as well as a few other species at the usual haunts,
Trying to decide which lure to have a go with next 
The water was pouring out of one of the holes and there were a heap of fish hanging around there, we caught all sorts with the light gear, and got reefed by a few of the bigger models too. 
the fish were eating all sorts of lures and we had fun with soft plastics, slugs and poppers, I had a stick bait taken home by a bigger model dammit. 
a good variety with flag, trevally, queenies and even a nice little Coral Trout, had to back up and pull him out from under a bit of coral
the boys had a ball and it was great fun seeing them all excited about catching some fish, as the tide came in i found some Barra lurking at another spot, missed a couple and managed one just undersize, there were plenty of other fish there too which is great to see. Had a great fish curry Monday Night with trevally, spanish flag and Coral trout in the mix, yum.
might have to go back there soon and hopefully get a couple of the bigger Barra
