Finally justice for one robbed fisho, as others learn some key lessons on the water in the Top End; the boat should float, and crocs are real! Meanwhile harbour flats fishing is still very productive as are Kakadu Billabongs for dry season barra.

Luck, like the tides, can just ebb and flow for Top End fishos. As one man catches a $10,000 fish only to find he was ineligible, another severs an artery 90k’s offshore. Meanwhile on the other side of the coin, one fisho discovers how to hook nearly thirty Jewies in two hours - just eight minutes from home.

The Tinny Boys headed out to Corroboree Billabong with the Australian Cricket side to help the team refine their sledging skills, in preparation for their tour of Bangladesh.

As Confucius infiltrates the Tinny again this week, fishos learn some hard lessons. Karma launches a two year assault on one man and eventually sinks his boat, while Warren De With learns that pride comes before the hardest of falls.

Billfish are everywhere off the coast and some fishos are so excited they're swimming with them. Others are catching them with only two rusty old hooks, no skirts and no sounder. Meanwhile 85 dry season barra in Anson Bay and 50 barra sessions on the Adelaide!

A glorious leaping Barramudi cake has been robbed at the Royal Darwin Show, why one poor fisho has had to resort to lure earings instead of actually fishing and what's the worst car you could drive into Kakadu 4WD country?

Jewies on both hook and spear, new 12ft PBs, barra learning to boof...and a heroic soft plastic saves the day.

Tales from the Tinny is a fishing show - sort of

This week on the Tinny, the multiple claims of capture upon a single Goldie, what a water policeman sees when he peers into eskies across the Top End, and recipe ideas from the corridors of AFANT…all set against the vague threat of nuclear annihilation.

How to recycle every part of your barra, including the scales, to bust out a campfire tune or two. And you know how they always strike at the most inconvenient times? How would you cope if you were expressing milk when the big one struck?
