They're all thru the
Kimberley - have caught them at
Manning Gorge, Moll Gorge,
Drysdale River, Surveyor's Pool even. Use chook pellets as bait.

Hi John,
Be most interested to know when and where you got cherabin in the Drysdale. The other
places listed yes but on the upper Drysdale ????
The lower Drysdale yes very likely.
Can't go in now as it's through Carson River Station & there is
no access anymore.
We have been keeping an eye out round here for 24 years & haven't seen a cherabin in this part of the Drysdale.
We also had several different people doing studies on fish and turtles and they didn't get any here either. Different ideas as to why not but no real reason known.
I'd be really interested ( and stunned) to know you got some round this area.
cheers, Anne

Cherabun on the Gibb? Better off trying the
Fitzroy river. Use chook pellets, but make sure they are laying pellets. Big difference

Jeff, that croc goes by the name Jethro. Resident of the Wydham Crocodile
Park. He used to reside at my mates house for years before he got too big then was sent to
Fremantle croc
park, and then later back home to
Wyndham. Was trapped at the
Wyndham boat ramp back in the 70's i think. He is massive, at least 70 years old and around 19 foot long. Very nice sized croc.

There's a place between
Derby and
Fitzroy Crossing called
Camballin. Tons of them there. Take some chook pellets as they love 'em.

Thks Jeff.
Camballin is on my itinerary on the way up. I was there last year at the same time and we got a feed but had to work for them. J.
