Barra Fishing in the Top End

What a great day - our last day in Darwin! We got a few barramundi, and I know our skill is legendary, but it was so easy ... had to throw the lures well and retrieve with great cunning, then fight them to the bank, with great leaps out of the water (the fish) and then hold them just right for the photo .. the only thing a bit different from what I expected was the long rectangular shapes of the billabongs ....

Here are a couple of photos for evidence-

74 cm - nearly 5kgs

Looks bigger, but that comes from long arms!

Top marks for a great day to our hosts Adam, Sarah and Jarod at their "FlickingFresh Barra" enterprise at Berry Springs. Have a look at their website www.reelbrainfood.com  -and the smoked barra fillets that we took back to the van were something else!

P.S. and no crocodiles anywhere to be seen

PPS. Mango smoothies at an adjacent farm to die for not to mention a swim in Berry Springs - not too hot and not too cold and not too many people either .. M.
