Gove

[staggy]

Had no time for a break after the wedding a few weeks back so I asked the little missus were would she like to spend a week away with me in 2005.
I knew I had married the right woman when she answered Gove in the Northern Territory.
Booked and payed the deposit on a charter today for easter 05(just in case she changes her mind).
I was wondering if anyone out there in Ausfish land has taken a trip with Gove Dive And Fishing Charters. All the info they sent me sounds great. I tried several other charter operators in the Nt and found it difficult to get anyone to reply to my e-mail requests. GDAFC were on the ball so they got my hard earned cash.
So now Im sure I will find some more excuses to visit the local tackel shops before heading north.
Catch Ya Later.

Staggy.I spent some time there about three years ago.The charter you have booked on seems to be the one most people went for. One charter that had a lot of unhappy customers was Walkabout charters,but I don,t think they operate now.Because I drove in and had my own vehicle I was able to get to many a great fishing spot.You could also hire tinnys and there was good fishing not far from the boat ramp.

G-day BJ.
Walkabout charters does not operate any more under the new management.Or so the bloke told me when I rang them after getting no response from the internet site.
Now they just supply accomodation starting at $150 a night and you have to organise your own guide for around $260 per person a day. GDAFC supply the accomodation(at walkabout lodge) and guide for less then I can doing it for myself.

In the info I was sent they recomend as light fishing tackle a rod in the 12kg range running 20lb braid. Med around 15kg running 30lb braid. My heavest is 8kg with 20lb braid. I wonder how many lures Im going to donate to the local bullies.

Should be interedting.

Got to go.
