Barramundi fishing on the east Alligator River, Kakadu

Today we rose before dawn to join a charter for barra on the sort of aptly named alligator river. Sort of because they aren't alligators, but the river crawls with crocs. As the sun rose and they emerged from the water to sun themselves, we saw perhaps a dozen, snoozing on the banks, or gliding silently along the river. They must have been full of barra, because we worked very hard for about 10 undersized fish boated. Hugh got 3, Rich got 2, and I got 0. I think we had planned the esky full of barra fillets a little early! Nevertheless, we saw crocs, caught fish and saw many beautiful birds....so a good day was had.
