Well i just returned yesterday morning from my week in NT. Had a blast with the milkfish and queenies and a few other bits and pieces. Here are just a few snaps from the tonne i took up there. The fishing wasnt as good as it could be as the locals were telling me its one of their worst seasons.But with a bit of patience and hard work still managed to bag some fish. All were released except for a couple of queenies wich some locals scored from me.
A little barramundi on a lure
Diamond scale mullet, these guys were so hard to get to take a bait.
This is my 4.5kg milkfish on 3kg line, 45 minute fight
The stout longtom were bait stealers but still a bit of fun on the light gear
Another queenfish, these photos have been edited to keep the locals happy as they dont want crowds.
Good old longtail.
I used bread to get the milkfish.It takes heaps of patience and most days the milkfish wouldnt even feed.And when they did they had amazing sense not to eat the bread with the hook.But as you can see a few fell victum.
We have similiar "Mud skippas" here in Tin Can Bay but where that one is Red ours are an iridescent Blue. A mate has one in his aquarium. They seem to use the fin underneath them as a foot to turn 360 degrees in the water and flick themselves a fair way ( 10 to 20 cms) when on land. Also very territorial in the tank, it takes on a baby Cod thats about 3 times its size.
Yeah it's a mudskipper. They get all courful when in clean water (rockskipper lol).
Mate that's a top trip, some new species there plus an Aussie record to boot! Well done.
Mark.
