Reeso Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Just got back from a trip with my dad to seven spirit bay up in arnhem land. fished every day and it was terriffic. Went deep water fishing for plentiful and sizeable golden snapper, a range of cod species, coral trout, queenfish, dad hooked a big gt but it broke him on the coral, and some real big catfish that go hard. In the estuaries we saw lots of big barramundi feeding and hooked up quite a few times but only landed a couple of small ones. It was my first time barramundi fishing and Im sure If I had had a bit of experience I could have landed some huge fish because those creeks were almost untouched, we saw noone else out fishing the whole week that we were there. real great place, its so isolated up there that the fish life is almost in its perfect state, not overfished of affected by poillution or anything. expensive but..

phild Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Its a fantastic place isnt resso, Ive done a lot of community work in the outstations of yirrakalla south of Nullambouy and port Bradshaw and blue mud bay. To say the fishing is unbeliveble is the understatement of the year and the cultural experince is unmatched. Good on ya mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patl Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 in the closed season it is not illegal to catch barra, it is just not legal to keep them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
