Hi
Iv recently moved over from darwin to WA, and am working and living out bidgy (lagrange bay) PORTSMITH area.
I'm a mad keen barra fisher man and have access to the creeks along the bidgy coast and hoping to tangle with a few in the coming year.
Was wondering if any one out there had fished the creeks around the area ? and are barra a viable option all year or do they shut right down in the dry ?
One more broad question are sail fish a viable option around this area too. I have a 4.4 tinny so cant push out super wide.
Any way cheers in advance for any info, look foward to doing few posts when my boat arrives from darwin and having an input to the forum
...
cheers curt

Bidgi
Welcome to the site, always good to have news from someone up in that area
not sure if he is still managing the store at Bidgi but Frank Jones would be your man on that neck of the woods.
Have caught good fish including red emps about 4oo metres off Cape Bossut in 5-6 metres of water at low tide.

I hope this isn't a beat up -
I hope this isn't a beat up - pardon the pun - be careful where you fish.

Uncool, I got caught
Uncool, I got caught Mudcrabbing by a few Bidgy fellas up Engendine way but they were alright about it after I donated a few, sat down and had a good yarn. Didn't realise I was doing the wrong thing at the time and apologised profusely, reckon if my attitude was different it could have been a very diferent outcome.

Goodenough Bay
If you head up the Peninsular near Deep Water Point there is a place called Goodenough bay with heaps of creek inlets and there are tons of Barra in there and many mud crabs for a good feed too you can also get across from Derby via boat, if you drive there you do need permission as the property is locked. Hope this helps, I lived in Broome for 11 years and have been in Kununurra for 12 months but are moving back in June to Broome, I found that it is word of mouth and just getting in the wagon and getting out and about - trial and error. Good luck!
