North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Here are a few photos from my 2014 fishing adventures. A lot of them have been posted but a few havent so threw them all in a compilation of my year.

The year started well with some land based action. I landed three meter plus fish by January. The first a 118cm honker, the second a 102cm and the third a 106cm. Unfortunatly I didnt get a photo of the 106cm. next up was the annual trip along fog bay and the Daly. It provided a lot of good size this year but few numbers unlike other years. We scored 12 in the 90's and one just touching a meter for Steel then came the first round of comp fishing at Shady camp and I managed to jag the round in over all points. My partner Sindy however took the real honours of biggest fish boating a 105cm big momma. Next came the mac round of the Sea dogs comp and I snuck out between windy periods and landed a 130cm to the fork mac. Not a bad effort for only one crack at them for the year. next up were three runs to Dundee with different people. On all occasions we scored our bag of goldies, some decent reds and a mixed bag of trout, tripletail,cod and assorted reef fish. During the year I stumbled on a few rare catches for the Darwin area and landed a Mirror/ribbon fish. I am becoming to believe that these are here in good numbers but don't get caught all that often. I finally confirmed in my mind what I have seen by boating one. The build up then snuck around and the bays fired up for big girls. I havent landed great numbers but on average boated a 90+ centimeter fish on most occasions if I didn't drop the rare hits achieved. Here is a 102cm baz and a 116cm jew for the missus. It was her first jew on lure and her first jew on a barra rod and reel. The year isn't over yet so hoping to hook into a few good fish yet. Hope you enjoy.

What a great year of fishing. Congrats.

Be interesting to know if the NT hairtail migrate down to NSW where the big ones are often caught, or if it is a separate population/species.

Another amazing year!
