North Australian FISH FINDER forums

Hi everyone

Had a great day out at West Arm on Sunday. Dashed over early for the last couple of hours of the incoming to put some pots out and picked up a couple of very nice bucks and a few jennys. Spent the rest of the day flicking the gutters on the outgoing tide. Plenty of small barra and trevally herding bait but found them near impossible to tempt onto the lures we were using. Some friends came out later in the day and managed to hook onto a couple of small barra (between 40-45cm) on lucifers but we couldn't tempt any. Ended up picking up a couple of flathead and a trevally for dinner which was better than nothing!

Amazing day weather, wind and swell-wise.

Interesting to see a group of about 7 people drinking and swimming off a moored Catamaran in Woods Inlet. Around 200 metres after we motored past them we spotted the biggest croc I have seen in the harbour (easy 3.5m) sunning itself in the mud. We went back to tell them but they didn't seem too perplexed and were still in the water when we left!

Anyway, no fish pictures worth putting up!

Cheers

Sounds like a good day out FF.

Mate, 'back in the day' you were more likely to 70 odd people up West Arm skiing (guess they all go to Manton nowadays)

You got more chance being killed in a car accident on the way to the boat ramp than taken by a croc in the harbour swimming ......
