Wobby, aka Paul, caught this 95cm barramundi just a few weeks ago (click to enlarge)

We are into the ‘Build Up’ now, meaning hot and humid days, and better barramundi fishing. The clouds are starting to gather during the day, and the afternoon wind mostly blows them away, also cooling things off a bit for the evening.

The fishing is on the upswing, so locals, travellers and tourists are getting out the rods n reels. Folks have been catching some good barra keepers (55cm t0 80cm), catfish and even a stingray!

The heat is up and the barra are on the bite!

where the barramundi were bighting this morning!

Roderick spent Sunday morning fishing on the King River and came back with a barramundi for the hot plate. It may be hot but at least the fishing is good, and hey, even if you don’t catch a fish, the scenery is magnificent.

We do manage to find the cool spots this time of year. I don’t know if this is one of those fertile Kimberley waterholes that the cast and crew from ‘Australia’ swam in, but it certainly beats the heat.

This is better than any swimming pool!
