I couldn't think of a better place to view the Lunar Eclipse
than the flood plains of Kakadu with the added bonus of some fishing thrown in.
Found myself floating around Alligator Billabong watching the sun set in the
West and the moon rising at the same time in the East.

Throwing poppers around in the fading light enticing that
big “boof” never ceases to get the adrenalin flowing through the veins. Great
fun! I still jump every time the fish strike even after all these years. I must
be a slow learner!
Had two days fishing Alligator and Red Lilly with plenty of
fish to the boat but none of any notable size. Even so not a bad way to spend a
couple of days. Alligator Billabong had Barra schooling up and tailing along
the edges of the lilies while in Red Lilly I did not sight a single Barra and
could only catch them here by dragging the depths. Probably due to water
temperature, Alligator 29 degrees, Red Lilly 32 degrees.

Remember, “You’ll never never know, if you never never go.”
Get out there and fish!
