OCTOBER ALREADY

Time certainly waits for no one, its October already, so fishing should be hotting up.  There are great tides for the fly fishers this week if you are lucky enough to have the school holidays off, and the weather looks reasonable.  Pete D is christening Black Dog Too in Bynoe, so we can expect a report via Mad Mullet.

Some of the mob fished Bynoe on the weekend with apparently good result, but I will leave that to other reports, but Jim got an 86cm barra (biggest of seven) but missed out on locating his monster from a few weekends ago.  Its the first weekend down there that some of us missed, but there was a competition on down there that we did not wish to come into conflict with.

Darwin Harbour has had varying reports, one of those is that you cannot get parking space at the east arm ramp for back packers who have apparently turned it into a tent city, plus it is used for off loading and loading staff for the Inpex apparently causing a lot of traffic. So until something is done about it down there it may be best to check before you go there.  There are also reports that the fishing has been affected by the construction/dredging going on there, but I don't think it could affect the whole harbour.  Would love any comments on that to find out just what is happening there, as far as fishing goes.

From the 12th of this month we will be hosting the  mobster 'Bottom Enders' who will be travelling up from the deep south for a fish and try to outdo us 'Top Enders'.  Tides vary, so the fishing will do the same no doubt.  According to our Facebook page there will be a few of us down there, so should be a great time.

Here are the tides for the period for anyone who may be coming down on any of the days, First the weekend,

Both these days have the run out later in the day, so so the higher 'flats' can be fished especially around the rock bars, can launch and retrieve all day at Milne, just be more cautious on the 2m tide.

For those who can fish the Monday and Tuesday the tides have a low in the morning but all of them have some run, so the fish should be about.
