The men cast off at dawn for another day  in the hot humid outback searching for the illusive Barramundi. They go upstream to the where the less aggressive fresh water crocodiles dominate.

The film crew and sports fishermen risk the danger of the stalking crocodiles to fish these most untouched waters. The crocodile is a protected species and they are in near plague proportions in most barramundi waters.

Croc hunting once was a lucrative local industry but is now outlawed.  Crocodile numbers have steadily built up since the ban was proclaimed. 

Famous for its great fighting ability, Barramundi's bite is rapid and savage. Once hooked, barramundi performs aerobatics and repeated powerful runs for cover in snags. 

Local Aboriginal and national size and weight limits determine a fertile ecosystem where the Barramundi thrives along with the predator crocodile.

Peter's first catch of the trip. A nice size for the hot plate.  In late summer barramundi  travels from fresh to salt water to spawn, congregating toward river mouths.

The chief Aboriginal fisheries officer John Clarke makes a routine check of campsites in the area looking for illegal fisherman and any undersize Barra caught.
