Seisia was a great spot for Daniel, because he was able to walk easily to the wharf from our camp and it was all very safe. The hardest thing to do was to actually get onto a charter so we did the next best thing and hired a boat for ourselves. We headed out to Jackey Jackey creek, seemed more like Crocky Crocky creek, with a cut lunch, cold drinks and high expectations.
Even though we had James at the helm, I must admit, I was a wee bit nervous, you wouldn't want the boat to break down because there was absolutely no way I would get in that water!
We got settled into the trip and the boat was fine. The water ways were lovely but so remote, nothing like Pittwater. The boys quickly got into the fishing using lures and not too long James got his first hit, an estuary cod. We hadn't seen one before and it was of good size so we kept it. He had only just got the fish off his hook when Daniel caught his first Barramundi!! It wasn't of size but it gave a good fight and Daniel was so excited, after a quick picture he let him go. This happened twice, James would catch a cod and then straight away Daniel would get a barra.

Barra Dan his our man, if he can't catch it no man can! |
At the end of the day we had caught to keep a barracuda,[great in stir fry], a trevally and two cods, which were absolutely delicious. Barra Dan was happy to have finally caught his barramundi and I was happy to have my freezer full of fresh fish! Well done boys!
Back at camp, we relaxed with a cold beer and had fresh fish for dinner, a nice way to spend our last day at the top end.
