Pictures and update (Update Pic Added)
Well the weather has been nothing short of "Very Average" and we have had to work hard for a feed, we are currently camped at one of my favorite place's.. Balla Balla (Not everyone's cup of tea though)
So here is a couple of photos of yesterdays trip in the dingy.
First we put our 3 nets in just to try catch a feed of Muddies, the result was 2 x very clean and chocker's of meat crabs.. Dinner was looking better already..
The fishing was a bit slow with mainly small yellow fin bream, some whiting, a small Shark Mackie and a couple of queenies around the 50cm mark, So I decided to jump over the side and this was the end result.. Yummo Coral Trout and Dinner tonight..
And I have done it again, started to fillet it before I thought I would grab a photo.. :-(
We are leaving here tomorrow as the weather is looking crap again and rain on the way, not to mention the 6 mtr high tide which will just about flood our camp spot. Notice the water behind the Vans (Pic taken this morning just before a 5.2 mtr High Tide) 5.9Mtr tomorrow, oh Crap..
Fried in the pan coated with Tandaco fish coating and went down a TREAT..
Not sure on the next camp spot??

Thanks Mate
The Troopy belongs to an old friend who is travelling with us until the end of the Gibb River road and then he will be going on around the block and we head back home...

Yeah I heard they are looking at shipping
ore from balla balla in the future, hope they do it right..
Whim Creek pub has closed down and has been for some time now, bit of a bugger really..
As for Depuch Island, Just love jumping in the water around there for a feed...
Sandflies have not been an issue but there are a few mozzies at the moment..

Plenty of mudcrabs at Pardoo
Plenty of mudcrabs at Pardoo station, but if it is raining I wouldnt bother going there. Maybe your next stop will be 80 mile beach. While the tides are big, it is great for big threadies and mulloway
