Yes we were there at the end of the Wet. April and the first week in May. We were the first car through the Buchanan Highway after the grader had moved the earth banks on the Victoria River ford after the Wet. First vehicle into parts of the Kymberleys as well (not counting the locals of course).

Fished the Victoria River on the Buchanan Hwy and on the main Katherine to Kunnunurra Hwy (name?). Also the Ord and the Durack plus a couple of others in the Kymberleys.

Then over to the East on the Gulf tried the Roper River.

Caught a good number of barra and catfish (Lake Argyle) plus a shark and something else with a spear.

Barra fillet dipped in batter and cooked in a fry pan on a fire makes a very nice lunch. The crocodile on the Vic River that cleaned off our plates thought so too when we were off fishing again

As I said I am not much a fisherman but I enjoyed that trip a lot. My friends conned me into coming and making the third person by telling me we were going buffalo hunting (that is a true story the lying bastards).

So early to late August, the barra will be more difficult to catch?
