The Mighty Victoria River

18th May 2013

This morning I was up early and started to get a  few things ready for the upcoming fishing trip with Kim on the Victoria River. I have been lucky enough to have fished there a couple of times in the past and it is just an amazing place (not for everyone I might add).

Kim & I went down to the shops, picked up our supplies for the trip before returning to do the final prep & packing for the boat. We left Kununurra around 11.30am (a little later than planned) and drove the 230km to Big Horse Creek (near Timber Creek) where we launch from.

We headed down river about 70km to a favoured camping and fishing spot and set up camp. It was late in the day and the sun was on its way down, but the anticipation of us catching our first Barramundi meant that we went out in the boat, found some bait and fished into the early part of the night, without luck for now!

We returned to camp and had a cook up around the camp fire before turning in and getting ready  for a big day on the  river tomorrow.
