They are called Sooty Grunter mate. Or “Sootys” for short. They are a 100% fresh water fish. And yes they do look like your Mangrove Snapper. Your Mangrove Snapper we call Mangrove Jack here. Which gets more confusing because they aren’t anything like the fish you call Jacks. The ones you call Jacks, we call Trevally. Haha. I’m seriously not making this stuff up. Thanks heaps for watching mate. 🤠👍🏼

Mikey, when I lived up there in the navy we done a lot of fishing on the Patrol Boats and my captain caught himself a Yellow Fin Tuna when we were near the Wessels and we got 32 1 inch steaks off of it😮

Been binge watching your videos since lastnight. You have some great content mate. Only fished in N.T once with my brother on an equinox charter. Hopefully get to fish up there again sometime soon. All the best with your future content.

I think the Sootys are well fed. There was millions of Rainbow Fish in the water. So the Sootys and Barra have an unlimited food supply.

John Dwyer Short answer: Wet. 🌧 Longer answer. The monsoon has finally dropped down and we getting some really good follow-up rain to the rain we had a couple of weeks ago with that tropical low that passed over Darwin. Massive storms all night the last couple of nights. And man I love storms. But I have 2 babies and 2 dogs who all don’t like storms.

I have not seen you ever fish the Adelaide River in Darwin out past Humpty Doo. Is it no good for fishing? Went there well up past Goat Island and got some pretty decent Barra in the Run Off around 2016

What dates were you down there and is the boat ramp accessible At the moment ?

@MikeyCunninghamFishing

4 жыл бұрын

This was a few days after the big rains we had the other week. That tropical tow that went over Darwin. The water level was up, but still had a long way to go for the ramp to be inaccessible. I’ve only been there twice so I’m no expert.

What type of drone is that Mikey ? great footage

@MikeyCunninghamFishing

4 жыл бұрын

It’s a little DJI Mavic Air. I can’t speak highly enough of it. A lot of other small drones are toys. But the Mavic Air is a little beast for its size.

Australia won the jackpot for most dangerous species .. Salt water crocs, boxed jelly fish, poisonous snakes and spiders ,Cassowaries oh i forgot sharks- jeez

Well put together lad.Still waiting to see you get your arms stretched with a barra

I had a similar moment that scared the s@&t out of me. I was flicking off the font of the boat and I had that “you’ve being watched” feeling. The water was dirty. Look over my shoulder and all I could see was this things head over a meter long right next to the boat. The water was only a metre deep so the bastard could have practically climbed into the boat if it wanted to. I literally sat down on the floor right in the middle of the boat (as far from the sides as I could be) and powered out of the creek with my Minn Kota on 10. I do have footage of the incident but it never made the video because you don’t see the croc. Just me acting like a scared little bitch. Haha. It was the video called “Solo Leaders Creek Fishing” and it was about 5 minutes after I release the small Barra I caught near the end of the video. This is obviously all irrelevant info, because as I said, I cut it out of the video. Crikey, possibly longest comment ever? Haha. 🤠👍🏼
