Blue water continues to produce across the Top End, but here come the South Easters! How it feels when your first fish is a 105 Barra and an outlook for dry season fishing the big rivers.

It's Easter and weather is looking fine for the bluewater, and some of the upper reaches of big rivers could fire as well.

The wet is done, the dry season is on its way. As are the billies, the mackies and even Corroboree is starting to fish. But forget the Daly for the moment.

Shoal Bay, South Alligator, the Tiwis and Daly River all feature on the Tinny this week. And how to be a better deckie!

Tales from the Tinny this week celebrates the finely tuned athletes, the ninjas of the Top End fishing community.

How to catch GT's with just sausage and a lasso. Shady becoming hard work on the springs, as the blue water fires.
