cat-as-trophy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Tomorrow Dusky and I start out on our big adventure driving to the Northern Territory to start our new jobs. Unfortunately its still the wet season, but once the dry starts it will be Barra fishing in our back yard. Plenty of muddies to be had as well. At this point we are taking about 7 rods with matched reels, three tackle boxes with a mixture of hard bodies, soft plastics and bits and pieces, and Rex is determined to get me to catch a fish on plastic (don't like his chances) Hopefully we will be able to have plenty of reports to post of our big adventure. Feel free to call us up and drop in for a fish if ever you are in the neighbourhood. Stay tuned, we will definately have photo's of the trip north. PS. Anyone who has or knows how to use a GME TX 3600 UHF CB please pm as we are having trouble with our new one. Cheers Cath and Rex Edited March 11, 2011 by cat-as-trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Good luck to you guys on your new start in life. For those of you that do not know Cath she has been a stalwart of this site for many years. She was a moderator and always helped me run fishraider socials and workshops. I am sure she wished you happy birthday over the years or sold you a hat at a social or registered you before fishing. Cath has always been around and put her hand up when needed. Many thanks Cath. I wish you good luck and hope to see you at some point again. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusky Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi All Well the boat & 4x4 arrived in one piece , Cath & I are settling in to our new jobs. We hope to be getting into some Barra when the dry season starts in 3-4 weeks It's going to be tough going with the mangrove being all of 15 minutes away - & that includes hooking up the boat & getting into the water! We will get some pics up for you as soon as we get a little more organised. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
