Tales From The Tinny

The Tinny boys have been kicked out of HQ and forced into isolation at home. Broadcast to you this week from a hot and humid Top End backyard amidst the confusion that is COVID-19.

The time has come fishos. Payback time. Three key words 'flu-like-symptoms'. Then self isolate on the billabong, big river or deep blue. Just make sure you keep your distance from one another. Which won't be hard...

Not quite run off conditions but the switch has certainly been flicked this week with good barra reports from the Adelaide, Daly, Shoal Bay, Shady, East and South.

How to target barra from a cherry picker, why fishos are ahead of the curve as toilet paper shortages grip the nation and how to tackle one of the Top End's most powerful sports fish

Three meteries in a row brings fisho out of funk...and could this rain herald a new dawn?

Rumblings of big rain...and calls for quarantine as fishless contagion spreads.

Wild croc encounter in East Arnhem, the thrill of the bowhunted barra...and some half-decent rain - but is it enough?

The missing monsoon continues to tease with the odd big barra landed. And a fishing disaster ends in triumph... relatively speaking.

The Tinny is back for 2020. Barra-stickin' stickface, the state o' the Daly, a barra plays hard-to-get with a lovestruck fisho...and a new song destined to top the charts.

Mixed bag this week sees big barra, big predictions, and the mother of all mother-in-laws.

Top End artificial reefs almost doneski, jetty-caught red tag... and waterspout off Dundee raises concerns over alien fish theft.

Rain on the horizon, techniques to hook reluctant barra, new 2020 Billfish comp... and stolen freezer fillets spark community outrage.

Getting hot and hectic this week with intense situations, intense genius and intense... not-genius.

More meteries, East Arnhem LBG, and the turmoil of a good ol' fashioned sandbar stranding. Oh, and the best croc-induced screaming we've heard in some time.

The pain and glory of billfish comps, first season 5 red tag goes off, and the big barra reports continue to excite, entice and befuddle.

The Magnificent Bastards strike again. And as the clouds roll in, so do the big barra reports.

A relatively lucid retrospective on dry season fishing, before the build-up-proper forcibly removes our normally calm dispositions.

The Adelaide River still fickle, catching barra landbased on fly...and a spearo's return to fishing a year after shark attack.

Bigger Barra on in the Tiwis, and once again fishos start to go Million Dollar Fish comp crazy.

The epic billfish run continues off Dundee, and the build up finally drops.
