I have heard that the netters in Chambers Bay (bottom of Shady Camp section, NT) get some monster threadies on the flats on occasions, but I have never heard of anyone catching the really big ones on a lure or bait out there.
Anyone know any different? Got some pictures for proof?

Gday Matt
Clients of mine got 2 last year that went 20lb[118cm] and 18lb[114cm],dont know if you call them monsters but they are good fish [have photos somewhere just have to find them].
A mate of mine got a couple of a similar size last week at the mouth of Tommycutt
I have seen the pros come in with their tinnies low in the water full of threadies that looked like they would go 30lb
cheers
Grant

Thanks for shedding some light on the big threadies Grant, I think a 10kg threadfin qualifies as a monster, although I have heard reports of bigger fish, I just haven't seen the photo yet. Port Hurd seems to be another place where the big ones are found, and they still get the odd big one on the east coast too. Seems to be plenty of smaller fish in Darwin Harbour too.
