Calvert River
River·Northern Territory·Australia·
Field notes
Gulf river between the McArthur and the QLD border, charter-only or remote 4WD with permits. Tidal stretches produce big barra and threadfin; the mouth fishes for queenfish, black jewfish and the occasional Spanish mackerel. Serious croc country.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
