Very true indeed.

One armed crocodile can’t get shit

Yes perch do have spines on the dorsal fin. Seen heaps of crocodiles up here too. They are really fascinating creatures to watch.

@Luke.Nugent1967 oh right yeah I thought that fin looked rather spiky aha. I agree there. I spent some time in Cairns and fondly remember seeing (from the safety of a high up river bridge) the cool red eyes glowing in the rivers on a few occasions 🐊

Everything up here is very outbackish and still very remote in a lot of areas. You really need to be on your game up here.

@Luke.Nugent1967 absolutely that's my understanding of it too working in logistics that goes up there. We always say "it's a whole new world up north" 💯

I am considering going back there this weekend, as long as the wind stays away.

Thank you for your kind words and Subscribing. There was a large crocodile trapped there not long ago just up from the footbridge.

@@Luke.Nugent1967 I guess I was a little Naive. Years ago a friend and I were fishing out of a kayak near the yellow bridge just inside the mouth. Mounted policeman were patroling the area and came over to ask us if we were planning on being there long. They then informed us that a croc had been reported and seen in the very spot we were floating. We didn't stay very long in the end 😄 You'll barely catch me near the waters edge now. Beaches without any nearby mangroves and creeks have become my preference, but crocs even get spotted in the surf at them now too! I know there's sharks about, I've seen a pretty big one caught at Nightcliff jetty. I really don't know which is scarierier, Sharks or Crocs. Probably crocs, because they can attack on land too! Me: Shark-nado? Pft! Stay out of the water then. Croc-nado? Sh##! 😲 *Just like a horse, Crocs can gallop, and trot.* I hope that's not your top speed! They can't climb... Quickly! Get in the trees! 😂

Yeah I certainly was disappointed in the chest mount. Thanks Larry so much for your ongoing support and advice. Cheers Luke

Oh mate not wrong, it was a hard day. The dry season certainly dries up the creeks and rivers quite quickly. Cheers again Larry.

Likewise Alex and thank you for the feedback.

Cheers mate. Unfortunately the fishing was a little disappointing.

I was using lures.

@@Luke.Nugent1967 what brand/name?

@ILikeTrains-gd5uq I had it custom made when I was living in Townsville in the late 90s. Unfortunately the person who made them has passed away.

@@Luke.Nugent1967 it'll be so sad if you snag it😭

lol. I do miss my trout fishing. Once I finish my stint in Darwin, I’ll be moving back to Adelaide hopefully one day I can take you trout fishing.

Cheers mate

It is Simultaneous detection of scale drop disease virus and/or Flavobacterium columnare from diseased freshwater-reared barramundi.

Yep that’s what I saw and the resident croc as well near the trap

@@Luke.Nugent1967 hmmmmm didn’t notice any croc I went down stream a little bit too got some good hits but too close to the edge for my liking.

Cheers Larry. Time certainly flies.

Great video mate, you’re really starting to dial in that Barra fishing! Few cracking fish 👍

@@Karl_Wild_Fishing cheers mate. I swear they are getting harder to catch.

Hi Larry, I reckon that you would enjoy it up here.

I was wondering about that billabong if it held fish in it.

Very true indeed. I normally catch the odd Barra in that part of the river. Luck wasn’t on my side that day. Thank you for watching.

Hi mate. I would suggest spinnerbaits or hard bodied shallow divers. I had great success on a red and yellow shallow diving lure. Caught plenty of Golden Perch and Murray Cod on it. Check out my other video and you should be able to see the lure that I am using. The lure was custom made when I lived in Townsville by a person that I knew who has since passed away.

@@Luke.Nugent1967 much appreciated Luke! For fresh water land based fishing, is it better to target these fish close to structure? Thanks heaps!

Thank you for subscribing as well. It is greatly appreciated. Cheers

@@shuheilawson1433 sure is. I either cast close to the bank at a 30 to 45 degree angle or directly and around structure.

Hey Tim. Yes mate I did. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year as well. Yeah I thought I’d give that spot a go again. I was hoping for Sooty Grunter but I got herring instead.

Obviously you know the spot. 😂

@@Luke.Nugent1967 love that spots problem one of the better billabongs there.

Thank you very much!😀@@Luke.Nugent1967

Hi Karl. That was a good day all round, fishing with my work mates. My concern was the crocodiles looking and lurking around.

Certainly one of my favourite places around there because of its wildlife.

You must be very cooked if you're actually that clueless

That’s for sure. Just gotta be careful of the resident Buffalo that hangs around the area.

It is a pleasure of watching your channel as I have visited some of the areas that you have been. Have a great Christmas to you all.

There is a walking track up to the ford, then follow the creek. Luckily for me I saw one the property owners who was kind enough to tell me about the creek and I got permission from him.

@@Luke.Nugent1967 That's awesome! I have a friend who lives on the stream so that's how I get my access

It is a cool spot but it was an absolutely hot and humid day. The heat got to me that day.

Thanks Larry. I have been busy with work and I am currently in Adelaide. Have a great Christmas to you and your family, and I looking forward to watching more of your adventures.

All good Tim. Have to plan another trip in the New Year.

@@Luke.Nugent1967 yep the Run off
