Spearfishing - Groote Eylandt - N.T

You can drive onto the reef and hover no less than 20 metres off the edge in less than 4 metres of water and this is what you'll expect. The odd croc has been spotted now and then so this is the handbrake.

very nice bag there, very nice. I've seen a few little reds up that way in the past, I was amazed how shallow some of them sit. Some of those reefs are loaded with crays too.

The trout are feral up that
The trout are feral up that way, you'll find them in waist deep water. Crays are everywhere also, you can get them easy at night walking on the reefs.

Hey Man Overboard. Wade
Hey Man Overboard.
Wade and I live on Groote and we catch trout often on rod and reel, from shore and the boat. Pretty easy to catch!

That's a nice looking tasting plate! Used to get a heap of those crays at night on the reef when i lived over on elcho island up there. Good fun. Only went for a snorkle a couple of times there but didn't see much like that!

Top Feed
Agree. A great feed there. I'm guessing it was that easy everywhere at some point.
