Hopefully the water cleans up a bit over the next few weeks Jeff, getting frustrated at the moment not being able to get a trout in the arvo :-(
We got some pretty good mackies this time last year boozy so you should be right for them at least.

Yup
As the boys have said, plenty of fish but the weather is unpredictable and things have been a bit shut down due to the brown water. Hopefully will pick up again soon as it clears out.

Cyclone and rain has stirred things right up. Certainly that way further north anyway.

Thanks for the responses
Thanks for the responses they where very helpfull.
We are still thinking bout heading up by the end of this week not to sure bout the two tropical lows pushing down to exmouth? You still think we are in for a chance of a few good days out or maybe the fact of even getting into Exmouth with the amount of rain bearing down on them? We are traveling up in two landcruisers towing a 6.1 trailcraft and a 5.2 Quintrex center console a commodore ute with a 4.6 dory and another two commodores just thinking bout the flood plains and wether the roads will be open saturday moning? I know it's alot to ask but all feed back is HELL APPRECIATED.
BEEN WAITING 6 MONTHS FOR THIS TRIP REALLY NEED TO GET OUT
THANKS BOOZY

hmm
Well its blowing its tits off at the moment and is forecast 25 knots with 2.5m sea until Sunday and after that I don't believe it. It will all depend on what this tropical low/cyclone does off Darwin.

Thanks once again for all the
Thanks once again for all the info. We are still going to head up on sat morning going to travel as far up as we can if we can't make it up as far as exmouth we'll just play it be ear and word of mouth. We are all keen as to still try exmouth cyclone or not the weather aint bother us. But then again if cant make it up as far guess denham might have to put up with us. Either way we'll make the best out of the circumstances. After all fishing is our life mother nature won't take that away from us.
Thanks all for the info will give you guys some feed back on how we went.
Thanks again

Thats keen. Just a heads up.
Thats keen. Just a heads up. The Exmouth bakery has lovely Lamingtons and the Pot Shot has cold beer. You might need that advice over any fishing tips.

ditto for Pinnochios restaraunt. Make sure you feast the day you go cos the serves are huge.
As for the dollies the trout the snapper the cobia the emperor the mackies the tuna, well, good luck. For both our sakes I hope the water clears but I'm not putting any money on it. Not even a cent.
