Just back from 3 lovely days at Yellow Waters. Took
Dimity and two granddaughters out - for a break from Darwin. Beautiful
conditions - no wind, no current and plenty of fish.
All those using dark side
stuff were telling a different story altogether. My poor little green clouser
was far more the worse for wear after each outing. In fact the thinner it got
each time, the more they liked it. I did change it a few times but always to
another of the same style.
The flies got chewed up but they still caught fish. |
The rain sort of slowed things up a little in that it was
necessary to run the bilge pump all most continuously on some days but the fish
made up for that. Tarpon about 36 cms were common and barra about 55 to 60 in
the early mornings.
The rain was so bad one day that I actually had the
bimini up to stop the stinging from the drops but continued to fish and catch
fish!!. Being by myself made it possible to fish with fly even with the lid up.
All the fishing was on home
billabong although it was possible to get through to yellow waters - apparently
Saratoga were being caught there. I didn't see the need to venture down there.
The crocs were also plentiful and also very friendly.
Cheers,
Phillip
