North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Just a query,
When people talk about the rockwall at Larrakeyah,
which one are they fishing? Small straight one or the larger
dog leg one?
Is the access restricted to just the select few who work on the base?
Am heading up in April and from what I've read, it's a top land based spot.
Would love to give it a go.
Affy

You need to know some1 from the base I think mate. There are some guys on here that would take ya down.

Otherwise if you cant get access try the Cullen Bay marina rockwall. Just be careful rock hopping down there..many have come down crashing. THe Cullen Bay rockwall is also good for pelagics like tuna and queenfish as they hang around the sandbar.

Yer mate if you know someone in defence you can be signed on to fish the wall. Ive gone really good there the last two days have picked up about 8 Trevs two queenies a couple goldies slaty bream and powertail.
Pm me when your here and i can take you if you want. that goes for anyone on here im cool signing someone in for a fish just let me know when and ill let ya know if im available

One of my Cpl's back home, sent me this pic.

His first barra, 82cm

Landbased at larrakia rockwall, 3rd cast.

I've even caught coral trout to 50cm there

Yep i got a 53cm coral trout there one time. have seen a bloke pick up two barra on a fly rod, mackies tuna jewfish, almost everything will cruise past there.

Last night i ended up with two trevs about 70cm a mother in law for crab bait and had a good run from a queenie about 90cm that hit the lure at my feet.

Nice pic of the barra there Aaron, hope all is well in that part of the world for you right now.

Quick question for fishing the wall.

Is the preference bait? Live/dead? Or does everyone just use a variety of lures/plastics/metals??

Just wondering as I will be moving up soon and plan on giving it a go.

damn definitely would like to try this place out, what tides are good for the rockwall ?

Nice fish there Aaron G, does he fish there regularly?
Davey D, would be great to catch up and have a fish if possible. Sounds like you fish
there quite a bit. Like most landbased spots I have read about in Darwin,
seems like a ripper of a place to fish.

sound like a good spot, would love top try it out on boat. Thats a beauty Aaron G.

You can't go wrong with livies down, however metals and soft plastics (6 inch gulp nuclear chicken and 1/4 ounce jig head my favourite for GT's and the reef spiecies) and poppers. Just make sure you have good leader as there are plenty of rocks.

gettin' a bit busy for my liking now, with all the increased landbased stuff and now even guides hitting it i only fish it when im really desperate to catch something lol.
certainly does produce the goods though if you want some pelagics.

Hey guys, for anyone that wanted to come out with me, i may not get out there untill next year after my east oz adventure but if the tides are right next tuesday or wednesday i would probably go again after work. if not ill let you know when i get back from leave

How's the fishing there these days I'll be up in March next year can't wait
