Tales From The Tinny

Lawnmowers, fishing trip toilet dilemmas and the most committed barra tattoo yet?

Big Roper barra, Groote billies update...and a bustup of goldies?

The heat is (still) on, fishing the 1970s part 2, and the red tags keep falling.

The heat is on, the (TEBS) race that stops the nation!...and 1970s Daly River reminiscences.

"The motor was so small if you caught a big barra you couldn't get back up on the plane!"

The fine art of handlining big jewies, The Maggot hits Shoal Bay and the Tiwis brings smiles and tears.

The importance of leadership, some billfish hijinks...and hardcore GT lures from recycled timbers.

"I don't mind making lures out of my furniture."

That early build-up persistence, the allure of the NT GT (not BT), and the correct way to spend your 21st.

Red tags go off, a 104 with a bad back, the hunt for the enigmatic Permit and why wedding rings and fishing don’t go together.

"It dragged me 400 metres - I was winding the reel underwater.."

40kg land-based GT, croc encounter circa 1983, long trolls for big barra, Million Dollar Fish kicks off its sixth season, and waaahooooo!!

Alex Julius has had a few close calls with crocs. But the Kakadu incident in 1983 still takes the cake.

Attack is the best defence, Dundee rescue, billfish weekend, chinaman fish... and a few mangoes.

Harbour metery, a tantalising fallacy, early red tag blues...and the ultimate daily double.

Barra-Toga comp wrap; the billfish are back; an actual NT Minister for Rec Fishos; and a worm of... death?

A trip to the Mini Mini; beneath the manta lies the cobia; and to catch the marlin you must first catch...the mini-marlin.

The harbour provides as the wind picks up, and a champ hits the 'bong for comp pre-fish.

Build up kicks off, Dundee spearfishing innovation and why golf when you can fish-and-golf?

Billabongs continue to perform, the mullet continues to inspire...and the Tinny reestablishes its election policy platform.
