Stalked by a Crocodile while fishing in Darwin

We spent 6 weeks Free Camping an hour out of Darwin.
While fishing the mouth of the creek nearby and Salt Water Crocodile was watching me closely the entire time.
It even moved up to where I was standing if I moved away.
Was it after me or my fish?
Safe travels

I am American, I remember pulling into Darwin Harbour New Year’s Eve, and aside from being hot.. There were massive salties just cruising in the harbour. Never saw anything like that in my life, and haven’t since…

[@sheepsfoot2]

Never been to Darwin but an old bloke from nth QLD was telling me when it gets stinking hot , the crocs will come from the rivers into the ocean > cooler water temperature !

[@xavieryoung7578]

He is trying to learn your patterns so he can determine when it is best to attack.

[@lfs-x1r]

The croc does not leave you...true love...

[@chrisholland7367]

I spent roughly 3 months in Darwin many years ago. Great place, but the sea is absolutely deadly.

[@todddavis-mu3sc]

That crock knows fishermen leave scraps so it waits for the left overs . But keep fishing there and it will set up and wait for you to become complacent and give yourself to it and it will have a go at you. They are patient. The next time you see it might be from the side as it has figured you out an comes from that area you are not looking for it . Nice video .

[@xisotopex]

surfing near a rivermouth in costa rica once, I noticed a log floating in the water, about 100m from me, didnt think anything of it, until I noticed that the current, which I was battling to stay in one place, wasn't effecting the "log", and in fact was now about 50m from me and holding position, and a few minutes later about 25m.... THATS when I realized what it was, and what it was was NOT a log LOL

[@IndefiniteLeave]

haha, no good comes from that lol

[@IndefiniteLeave]

We get a lot of questions about our shirts. You can find out more details about them here - indefiniteleave.com.au/product/indefinite-leave-shirts/ Thanks for watching.

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

He is just one of a half dozen reasons not to go in the water up that way . I’ve camp at that spot for a few nights in a big group myself, top spot a 👍🍺❤️🇦🇺

[@IndefiniteLeave]

Agree, I didn't go in but at low tide, as you prob know, you can drive across. We did see people turning up on day trips swimming in there. Very safe at low tide from crocs but it's the stingers that worry me. Agree, great spot, we loved it :)

[@seppomuppit]

This is a nice video, I'm guessing you were at Gunn Point. However I think you did put yourself in harms way just a little bit.

[@JohnnysCafe_]

Crafty beggars, he is stalking you ay?

[@IndefiniteLeave]

Yes, ultimate predator. It certainly was watching me :)

[@stepanusteman7348]

Dangerous crocodiles over there

[@matk4731]

It’s not the croc you can see that you have to worry about. Famous last words. Let’s see how close I can get. There are some monster crocs at Gun Point.

[@IndefiniteLeave]

That's very true, plenty around up there. We'd been there awhile though, our friends we were with had been there months. At low tide people were swimming right where I was. We had a pretty good read on it but just in case I made sure I had space all around me :) Thanks heaps for watching.

[@mariegamble5194]

He has watched 👀 you every day, just waiting..... you ... say no more

[@pvflyer67]

Amazing country 🤩

[@IndefiniteLeave]

yes, sure is :)

[@xisotopex]

wow what a great place to camp and fish...

[@collinklein2230]

I absolutely love darwin. I've been called stupid for swimming in the water🤷‍♂️ There's also an abnormal amount of jellyfish at the beach. Super clear water though

[@IndefiniteLeave]

Haha. Yep box jellyfish are probably your biggest issue there but not sure I'd swim in the ocean in Darwin either. 😁

[@YoursUntruly]

That’s crazy as hahaha Love from Canada 🇨🇦🖤

[@IndefiniteLeave]

haha thanks :)

[@user-ds8zk7lt7f]

beautiful weather. Safe travels

[@dominicjohnson8427]

If I was fishing there I’d almost certainly have my young kids and dog with me ! And a firearm but it’s still worrying

[@jordanhicks5131]

What can you carry for croc defense in Australia, God forbid one manages to grab ya?

[@IndefiniteLeave]

If a Salt Water Croc grabs you in the water there's not a lot you can do. While it's death rolling you you can try getting to it's eyes or punching it's snout but that's very difficult as they throw you around trying to rip limbs off. Best bet is not to get yourself in that position in the first place :)

[@xisotopex]

there might be some clean rideable surf there every once in a while...

[@winpipefishing]

Perghhh besai buaya nyak mate good saiz

[@mybluebelly]

It`s always the one you don`t see that will get you. So no need to worry about this one, just saying..

[@Will-nb8qk]

5:08 You’ll know if a croc is around if Adele isn’t suddenly standing behind you anymore.

[@Bizzo1289]

Pretty cool, only a baby though.

[@IndefiniteLeave]

yes, for sure. I'm guessing it's probably a female going by it's size. :)

[@jacob8466]

What’s the biggest croc you seen ?

[@IndefiniteLeave]

This one, big & mean and I got a very close look at him haha - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoSXpGeCa6aSb80

[@SandVan]

Beautiful video guys ❤❤

[@IndefiniteLeave]

Thank you :)

[@cosmiccharlie8294]

So no swimming then......

[@IndefiniteLeave]

[@cosmiccharlie8294]

@@IndefiniteLeave I'll take Northern Minnesota then!

[@tannerking4130]

What’s the name of the song?

[@IndefiniteLeave]

Turn this ship around - Hallman :)

[@warwickmilne3149]

that croc is tiny, god you city people crack me up. also dumb going down to fish at high tide everyday at the same spot thats how you get taken

[@xisotopex]

kinda looked like it noticed the drone at the end there...

[@johnjarvis2470]

Confident there is only one!……

[@ronniegauci3843]

its the one you dont see that gets you.

[@bubbleobill267]

He’s only a bubba.

[@IndefiniteLeave]

yep, definitely get lots bigger :)

[@Will-nb8qk]

He looks too small to bother you too much

[@Jayvis-x1f]

Don toliver😭?

[@NaastyBoii382]

The thumbnail was awesome click bait. Thanks for wasting my time 👍

[@IndefiniteLeave]

Ohhh you poor little snookems. It must've been terrible for you.

[@user-ds8zk7lt7f]

Assume for every 1 you see, There are 10 you don't see

[@brentmcd12]

cool! close encounter! 🌅🏞️🤙📹😎

[@IndefiniteLeave]

Another campers dog went missing soon after this. May have got lost in the bush but might also have wandered too close to this thing one night.

[@AlA-ok5jh]

Where we live in Canada people’s cats and small dogs go missing too….coyotes get them even within city limits. But crocs are one scary reptile and your poison snakes…
