Field notes

Vast Ord River impoundment in the east Kimberley, holding stocked silver cobbler and a respectable barramundi population. Cast surface lures into the timber on dawn, swimbaits deeper through the day. Big freshwater crocs - keep limbs in the boat.

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.
