    Thanks ET. I've just spend the last few hours looking at website after website. Is that all people in the NT do for a crust? Fishing tours? Hehe...
    Still lost myself looking.
    Fishing in Arnhem land is where we want to go. Somewhere a bit more remote. So now we have narrowed the area down, I just have to find the sites offering in that region.
    Myself, my brother and my dad are meeting up Saturday night to discuss what we want in this trip and look at some sites. My brother also wants to stay in Darwin a few days either side of the fishing trip to look around. Maybe hire a 4wd and go for a drive.
    Something else to look at.....

    Another that's been on TV lately is Clearwater fishing tours, but they may be out of Melville Is.
    I've sadly only caught one Barra from the Wenlock river in '83 ,

    “Fish catches have been down dramatically compared to an average year, so it's very poor and it's not just the barramundi fishery, it's right across the banana prawn fishery, the crab fishery, and it's all basically due to the lack of [wet season] rain we've had over the last three seasons."


    Reports from fishermen in the Northern Territory suggest barramundi catches have been strong in waters west of Darwin and fairly reasonable along the north Arnhem Land coastline, but definitely poor in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

    The news papers are full of croc incidents of late. Make sure you cover your clothes in pepper and attach a few small bells to them as well.

    That way - when the rangers find the peppery smelling croc shit with the little bells in it - they can send it to your rellys so they have something to put in the coffin.

    Ok its booked. We have decided on the Cobourg Peninsula trip. Its a fair bit cheaper, easier to get to, two planes instead of three, the guy at Cobourg was easier to talk to aswell. So we are heading up there in April, 10th i think. Will be up there for three days and three nights, then we go back to Darwin and we are hiring a 4x4 and will do Kakadu, then head south to someplace, then head northwest back to Darwin. This will be over three or four days.
    I am bloody looking forward to this.
    I need to get myself a GoPro before i leave too.
    Im finally doing it!

    Yeah cool. If I took my fly rod I think a Barra would bust it a little.
