Field notes
Central Arnhem Land river flowing north into the Arafura Sea, charter-only with Northern Land Council permits. Tidal stretches produce big barra, threadfin and black jewfish with almost no angling pressure. Remote, croc-heavy, traditional country - permits non-negotiable.

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.
