Publisher Description
It's all about fishing in the Top End ... sort of.
Come on a fishing trip to the Northern territory with ABC Darwin's Rob Smith, tim Moore and Mario 'McFadge' Faggion as they chart the croc-filled waters of the top End, doing what they do best - telling tall tales, drinking beer, and crapping on - all from the tinny. As one keen fan put it in a warm recommendation, 'the crap you blokes talk on air is the exact crap spoken on my boat.' And this book is full of it - stuffed full of anecdotes about the colourful characters and wild, vibrant landscape of the top End, but more than that, it's a book about mateship, fish, and the elaborate and exaggerated fishing claims that two guys who have been drinking beer all morning might make. And did we mention the fish? there's a lot of them, including Mullet. And a lot of arguing about them.
Customer Reviews
Get a mullet up ya,
If you are regular listener (or podcaster) of the tinny (ABC Local Radio FM 105.7 Darwin or AM 783 Alice Springs) you will love this book. For those who have never been to the Territory (known as a poddy mullet from down South) this book is a great introduction to living in the Territory and more importantly fishing the Territory. What to wear, what to drink, how to extract a turkey and his new fourby out of a swollen river. How to deal with tinny emergencies and of course the local wildlife and I'm not referring to Mitchell Street on a Saturday night.
The perfect guide book to living in the Territory with a fisho or anyone who enjoys punting the 4x4 down a red dirt track and loves Australia's outback. Lonely Planet eat your heart out. $8 for an awesome read. That's less than price of a skim latte and bagel in Sydney. I know which I'd prefer. Then again I drive a 20 year old Lancruiser.
