Again another early start with a beautiful sunrise and a decision was made to pack up camp and get ready to head back up river after the morning session of fishing.
The time down river was less than we had originally planned in part due to our great first day on the river, near enough catching our quota of fish for the trip and also due to the fact that the ice was thawing quite quickly and the last we wanted to do was to lose any of the fish we had caught.
So we hit the river again, caught some bait and set ourselves up for another morning of fishing. We tried a couple of different spots which produced a couple more nice sized Barramundi (around the 75cm mark), but the fishing was certainly a little slower than the previous day.

Kim and I also have the inevitable stories of the ones that got away, with both of us losing some big barra where they took us onto rocks and snapped us off. Oh well that's fishing and it will always keep me coming back to this very special river.
We headed back to camp as the tide was rising, packed the boat and made the 70km trip back up to the boat ramp at Big Horse Creek. We got back late in the day and after a big couple of days on the river we decided to head into Timber Creek, book a donga for the night and enjoy some air conditioned comfort before making the drive back home to Kununurra in the morning.
As Ive said, a great trip once again and one that I hope to make for many years to come.
