20180709_121712.thumb.jpg.0076da287222046d22f8008532dc4f03.jpgOver the past week fished a few times for mixed results. 

Home Valley Station fished the Pentecost river from the shore. 

Cast lures for no result then tried using small dead mullet one reasonable missed hit and some catfish.  There for two days only one 80cm barra caught by another camper. 

Then headed to Lake Argyle on way found a fishy river so camped near the river for a couple of nights. 

Had a few sessions interrupted by sightseeing caught about 10 legal sooty grunter kept 4 lots of small ones and spangled perch. 

Also caught this sleepy fish just under 40cm a new specie for me. 

Had a fish at the boat ramp on the Victoria River near Timber Creek today no fish  will try again in the morning.  Have to keep an eye out for crocs every where up here.

Had a quick fish at the boat ramp before we left timber creek. Used bait caught a couple of jewel fish plus the compulsory catfish. 

Camped at Edith River tonight had a 10 min flick in the shallow river this afternoon for a oxeye herring will have a few casts tomorrow before we move on

Leaving Kununurra on Tuesday, heading east probably to Timber Creek, a few different stops then Darwin from 25th for several nights.

Pulled out a Tarpon (oxeye) at the Ivanhoe River crossing on a lure.

Are the Oxeye herring the same as the tarpon we get in Weipa? If so they are speedy critters when hooked!
