Tossed the boat in Bynoe Harbour yesterday, looking for salt-water barra around the mud-flats at the bottom of the tide. We only boated a few small ones, mine were 61 and 72 cm, along with the usual assortment of grunter, bream, cod etc on bait. A couple of opportunities for better fish were missed, we'll get them next time!

Yes, I am soaking-wet, it bucketed down most of the day, with several big storm-cells moving across the harbour. We also got involved in a bog-fest on the track out, not bogged personally but had to help extract two other vehicles which were blocking our way. The wet season shows no signs of having done with us yet!

Most of my friends have headed out to the big tidal rivers to fish the wet-season run-off, which the good wife and I will be doing over easter and following weekends, so I hope they did well. The word was that mainly 'green' freshwater fish were being caught, but that should have changed with more estuary fish moving upstream on the big tides.

This month is a very good time to be chasing barra in Australia's 'Top End', in both fresh-water and salt. Hopefully we'll get hooked-up to a few 'horses' on the easter long-weekend!

BTW, I tossed a recipe for 'barramundi sausages' up on the "Recipes...' forum, for those who are interested in aussie 'pioneer' culinary heritage!
