 | a saratoga, an ancient fish
|
For a special treat that night, we went fishing for barrumundi on the lake. We used spinning rods and huge Rapala lures, with me catching a lot more plant life than fish, but in the end I did land a nice 9 pound saratoga before the mosquitoes drove us off the water. We spotlighted for crocodiles as we returned to the bank, and saw at least a dozen. I decided NOT to try to catch one, although I did examine several humungous cane toads, invasive and highly poisonous amphibians that are wreaking havoc in the Australian bush.
