I'm actually just back from Darwin, Spent last week up there Fishing.

I went with "Darwin Reef n Wrecks" Simply put it was terrible. $260 for a Full Day.
Arrived at 4:30, Jumped on Board. 4 Pissed Morons showed up, Slabs under each arm and carried on obviously not having slept. Skipper never showed up (was sick apparently) Finally leave the Marina at 7am with the Deckies taking us out. 2 1/2 hours drive to the fishing grounds, no bites in 2 mins? Move Spots, Drive another 30 mins. 2 mins...No bites? Drive another 30. Yobbos getting more and more obnoxious as the day progresses

I reckon we spent 45 mins fishing in 10 hours. One fish caught. Me with a 2kg Rock Cod thing.

The only good thing on the whole trip, 2 of the Yobs passed out on the back deck shirtless, and got so sunburned they were just about glowing in the dark.
Never again.

Of course since I've gotten back to Melbourne, All I've heard is awesome things about Arafura. Whose boat we actually saw on the way out.
