    Up at 5.30 to go on a fishing charter, we have done lots of fishing on our trip but none from a boat.

    There were only 4 ppl on the charter, so tons of room to fish. We hooked up straight away. Everyone caught at least 1 fish. We were using frogs for surface fishing.

    When they went quiet, Gheko (the Guide) moved us further up the river and changed lures, and we trawled red soft plastics. We caught heaps of Barra, Wayne landed the biggest at 65cm. The other couple were starting to suggest we jump overboard.

    We didn't want to keep any of our legal fish, so we offered them to the other couple, as their fish were under sized. Skipper wouldn't allow it, said his rules were you can only keep what you catch.

    Saw lots of birds, some beautiful flowers, and dozens of Crocs. It was a fun morning.

    Had a rest and lunch, then went back to the Pontoon for a final fish. Caught another 3 fish, helped the couple from this morning land a nice fish. Happy days.

    The clouds are starting to build in the afternoons. I wonder if they are going to have an early wet season?
