North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

G'day people,

I took young Jasper out fishing during the school holidays last week, at an undisclosed Top End location.

The river was still a liittle high for my liking, and whilst there were a few runoff creeks with colour, the flow was only minor and struggling to get out. The tarpon were active, which fired up Jasper straight away and he had a couple good ones in the boat in no time. The barra were a bit slower, and it was hard to entice a hit between all the tarpon taps. I eventually nailed a few, as did Jasper but it was pretty hard work. A single tiny sooty was a welcome addition to the day's entertainment. All in all a good day on the water with the boy, but it would have been nice to have been troubled by some larger barra. cheers

Thanks for the report mate

Nice work Trev and Jasper!

Good day on the water Trev well done. I think I know that spot.

Brazen!

That's GOLD mate - well done!

Well done lads

Great day out and a smiling child.

Nice work Trev and Jasper!! I love tarpon....specially the bigger ones. I remember you got a monster a couple of years back in the harbour! They are gangsta!! Would love to fish for them with fly one day.

Mate, looks like a good day out. Good thing THAT spot isn't closed like the Finniss........
