𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧!

Big news for Top End billabong fishers, Four Mile Hole in Kakadu is open from today, 27 August! It’s looking great after a good flush. Check out the latest photos in the comments.

Access via Two Mile Hole Road to the Four Mile Hole turnoff is open under traffic management. Rangers have reinstalled the toilet, and the wash-down bay will be installed on Monday.

Please use the wash-down facility to remove w**ds from boats and trailers, and check carefully for salvinia before leaving, especially if heading to other billabongs such as Corroboree, which remains free of this invasive w**d. Let’s help keep it that way.

A heads-up for launching: Water levels are still high and the entire ramp remains submerged. You’ll need to reverse a little further than usual and be aware of a noticeable “bump” as you pass over the head of the ramp.

Parks Australia has advised that Two Mile Hole will unfortunately not open this season due to flood damage and ongoing roadworks. The longer-term positive is that new culverts are being installed, which should make the road more resilient to flooding and could allow Two Mile Hole to open earlier in future seasons.

Good fishing reports are also coming from Corroboree and Hardies, while more of Kakadu’s famous billabongs are now open, including Red Lily, Bucket and Alligator.

As of last weekend, there were also roadworks on the Arnhem Highway around Beatrice Hill, with sections operating under one-way traffic control. Take care, follow the signage and allow a little extra time. AFANT has made inquiries with NT Logistics and Infrastructure and hope to provide more information soon.

With Four Mile Hole opening and more billabongs becoming accessible, it’s shaping up to be a great build-up fishing season in the Top End.

A big thanks to Parks Australia & Kakadu National Park staff for their ongoing communication and updates, and to the rangers and contractors working to get sites open after what was reported as the biggest flooding to hit Kakadu since 1974.

As always, we’re keen to hear about your experiences, drop us a line and send through your photos or trip reports if you have anything to share!

We just returned from the Barra Nationals on the mighty Daly River. The Banyan Farm - Daly River was hit hard with a lot of the river edge washed away (30metres I believe) from the recent wet season floods. What an awesome effort to Kerri, Wally, Russ and the crew to get the venue to a great standard. The boat ramp had to have a lot of work on it to become useable and in the end was fantastic. With 50 teams having to launch and retrieve each day many of us believed it would be a long wait as the pontoons had all been washed away.
To everyone's credit the launch and retrieve of boats was very well managed.
As for Team Reidys Schneider we ended up 21st and we caught our bag of 5 Barra everyday, but we lost a lot of barra (especially teammate Paul Moran lol). Our most successful lures were the Akame Guppy's in sizes 120, 150 and 200mm, B52's, Judges and Schneider braid and leader. A great tournament with great team mates.
It was great to see so many teams using our products Reidys Lures, Schneider fishing lines and Akame Tackle.
Thanks must go to my wife Karen for holding the fort at work whilst I was out working, special thanks to the crew at Banyan Farm, Kerri, Wally, Russ and all their volunteers (Stu and Chris were unbelievable). Bec, Lynne and Darryl thanks for one of the best Barra Nationals under trying circumstances.
Thanks Clinton (Cookie) and his crew for the awesome meals!!!!!
To all competitors thanks for an awesome week with great banter especially from our "sister team" Team Akame.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Congrats to the Reidys Lures overall Biggest Barra to Dylan ODonnell for his 115cm capture but also a 110cm barra. Dylan was using 40lb braid and Schneider 70lb leader.
Thanks to all our supporters

These beauties have been tested and great results mainly on Murray Cod and Barra.

I ventured to Shady Camp last week with a group of mates, Micky Spring Tide Safaris , Miro (retired or tired), Ray from Raysea Marine and Michael (The Joker)
Reports I had heard from Micky and other guides was that the fishing was great previously, so with great expectations we hit the water.
First stop was to drop our gear off with Kev Adventures at Sea - Mantaray staying 3 nights on the Mantaray mothership. What a fantastic mothership and it was so good to be positioned near the mouth of Shady.
We fished Sampan, Tommycutt and coastal creeks for the 3 days and whilst it didn't set the world on fire as far as catching lots of barra we had a ball landing 31 for the 3 days. Biggest Barra was a 95cm caught by Miro using a Big B52 in Tropical Thunder colour
Majority of fish were caught on the Guppy's, The Culprit (small Judge prototype), Judge and Big B52's whilst Micky and Michael did use some other brand lures. All fish were caught using mono and Fluorocarbon leader and most using Schneider Braid.
A big thanks to Kevin and Karen for their hospitality aboard the Mantaray and their offsider Mick who looked after us.
A big shout out to Pete Barnes Territory Guided Fishing on the Beagle Gulf mothership who put up with Micky and I on the first night as there were other clients onboard Mantaray.
And finally thanks to Micky, Ray, Miro and Michael for an awesome few days.
