Neapish tides, dropping winds and no fishing for a week time
to give Bynoe a go.
My planned early morning launch was put on the back burner
by a catch up drink with “I love Arnhem Land” Lenny (2 am finish, barmaids told
me the next day, “fine form Jim!!!!!!!!!!”). A civilised launch at 7am saw me
heading past Turtle Island to fish the protected bays/flats of that part of
Bynoe. Barra everywhere in crystal clear water but very flighty with any false
cast sending them to the gutters in a flash. Tally 4 in the boat, 3 in the 60’s
one undersize. No photos, camera back at the camp, blame Lenny!!!
After a feed of curried sausages and in the swag before the
sun went down it was back to normal for a 5.15am launch. Beware of the 2m croc
that has been at the ramp for the last month, not afraid at all, did not want
to give up his boat ramp! 4.5m boat v 2m croc, no contest!

| Great to be alive |
Smooth seas saw me heading to Turnbull Bay, ideal conditions
but could not find any Barra on the flats but had fun with sight casting cruising
Queenfish on the flats.
 |
| Great fun in shallow water! |
With no Barra for the Esky it was to the drain that I know
for a feed of Snapper to take home.

Whilst I’ve had better fishing it is just great to be out
there on Bynoe, how lucky are we???
Remember; “You’ll never never know, if you never never go.
Get out there and fish!”
