Great video Wardy thanks for sharing. I'm getting keen as now for Lakefield in a couple of weeks! Those molix shads are very good hey, I even snip the side fins off and gives them more body roll. Good onya mate!! 👍🏻🎣

[@wardysfishing9403]

Let me know how Lakefield goes mate. Loving the Molix shads but I drop so many Toga. There hard mouths and those shads are not a good combination.

@@wardysfishing9403 will do mate 👍🏻

Great to know that there’s plenty of places off the beaten track where a bit of walking effort reaps such rewards. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Q. Is there a rule of thumb for how far away from the coast you have to be before Salty Crocodilians are not an issue? Cheers, Marty.

[@wardysfishing9403]

The term Saltwater Croc is a little misleading. To say the least. They are everywhere mate and these billabongs are a favourite little hangout.

[@martyataube]

That’s what I thought. You appear very relaxed at the water’s edge, I guess living up there you get to know the signs, subtle and obvious, that would put you on more alert?!

Loved the Video Mark heading up there soon I hope have given me some ideas so I might catch my first ever Bara or Toga

[@wardysfishing9403]

Best of luck mate. Let me know if you have any questions. I;m sure you;ll get your first of each.

Enjoyed that Wardy you were probably the only ones to have fished it as people are so lazy these days. They don’t realise walking is the best thing for them. Can you do some land based fishing on the beach as that’s the only way I fish in Darwin. I think it’s the same problem here as people are so lazy and can’t be bothered land based fishing. They don’t realise that there is great fish to be caught off the beaches 😊

[@wardysfishing9403]

Exactly mate. And I will be more than happy for a landbased beach fishing session. I'll get to work on that over the next couple of weeks. What do you target from the beach in Darwin?
