Croc territory?

Yeah. No avoiding it unless your 5 km off the coast or in your pool. See one or two every trip.

You get the same stingers around there like FNQ does?
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Stingers and tiger sharks. No matter how perfect the beach and water looks, still don't go in. People do though, mainly backpackers, who should be here any moment now.

Never needed much of an excuse to get in the work vehicle and do a slow cruise down Mitchell St during the dry. Need the mail picked up Vera, I'll do it for ya! Never mind that our PO Box was at Casuarina and not in the city...

Don't forget the Stone fish. Saw a mates photos on the weekend on Fb out at Edith falls, water very inviting but a no go area!!

Went out today. 20kms north of Darwin to gunn point. Fish everywhere but couldn't get a strike despite chucking every lure and plastic at them. Long day for 2 gt and a queenie. Took a guy from adelaide, and he was stoked he saw turtles, dugong and crocs.

Mate of mine landed a thumping queeny off the wharf in Darwin last week on a live mullet.

It was lovely as usual Dutch but vacant of fish,too much weed.
Went to Turton around the corner and it was too calm to have the agressive salmon trout type fish be interested in baits.
Went back to Moonta and grabbed the usual A1 pizza from the Jetty pizza joint and chomped down half of it and fell asleep during the footy.

Looking at a metro morning squid sesh on Saturday I reckon.

Was at 'Hughes for 3 days last weekend. Nailed the weather. Also nailed a legal snapper on a 'plastic'.. :shock: ;) Gobbed that little 2.5 Yozuri like there was no tomorra! Snap swivel was in his teeth, and you can see where the prongs ended up. ;) :lol:
