North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Being held this coming week on the Daly River - big fish were caught on last week's big tides as mullet came up the river - will the good fishing continue on the very different tide cycle this week?

5 meterys caught today at kids day. Biggest 114cm.

I know of a 110,107 and 101 and compain got a 124cm in the last 4 days.

That is awesome!
I've only ever fished the Daly twice and each time I caught a big fat Zero! The river looked great each time we went there, just bad luck I guess? Where are these fish being caught?

Most caught between No Fish Ck down to Elizabeth.

My son and his mate Luke fished with Merv Hughes' team and had a fantastic day. They hooked up heaps of good fish but only managed to get the one 75cm fish to the boat.

Many thanks to Merv and his team for looking after the boys and a huge thanks to DGFC (especially Deb Halprin) for again organising the Junior day. The kids look forward to this day more than christmas.
That is what fishing is all about!!

Cheers

Ziggy dropped a big fish at the boat yesterday, the biggest horse barra he'd ever tangled with and had a great time out with Kevin and Mike. Thanks fellas, and all the organizers.

Cheers

Yep, ditto with the thanks to Debbie and the crew for organising the juniors day. Young fella and a couple of mates had a great day(no fish landed) and came home with a bag full of freebies.Saw a couple of meteries landed by others. Cheers

Has anyone got any results on what is happening down there?

Fishing has been very slow.

Will get some updated results tomorrow.

Sounds like fishing is very hard, after two days fishing word is there have been total of only 73 fish caught. Given the tides there may not be much joy for them until the bigger push on the second last or last morning. Thats tough going in anyones book.

thanks Matt. Geez they are doing it tough

Organisers are hoping that the building tides will get the fish going at the end of the comp. Some fish are being noted on sounders, but aren't biting.

Everyone hoping the building tides will pick up the fishing.

I reckon big fish will be caught on the Daly from Friday onward.

sounds like day 4 only produced 43 fish making total close to 160 for 4 days. Tuff going.

Haha, sounds like the juniors caught all the Meteries..

A few results coming through, Top end tackleworld champ Team 1500 odd points and Steve complain Champion Angler 900 odd points, biggest fish 114 cm.
207 fish for the week, sounds like the toughest for a long long time - the competitors might deserve a medal for sticking it out in those conditions.
