    Absolutely love Perry's on the Daly! Dick is a lovely bloke, loves telling stories. He took us for a fish on the billabong our first time there. Such a special spot!

    You and Tiff make a great team even when she's not there!
    Great episode! The improvement in your video production and editing is a credit to you. I've been following you for a while now and it's evident to me. You clearly do the work. I also have to say that I like the way you edit out expletives. We all drop the odd bomb but not including them gives a professional edge to your product.
    I hear persistence pays with barramundi fishing. Mind you, I've never caught one because I'm too impatient.

    The owner of Daly River Barra Resort (“across the road”) does awesome 1/2 day fishing charters (which was more like 3/4 of the day). Hubby caught a 78cm Barra!

    Cam the local Indigenous people of the Daly River say that when dragonflies appear on the river you will catch Barramundi. I guess they've had a while to work it all out.

    You said the fish were popping up for the bugs. Have you ever seen anyone fish for Barra with a fly rod?

    Cam you mentioned the icheck tyre monitoring system… would you recommend as we are now actively looking. Have come across a number of posts reloading connection to the trailer tyres. Has this been an issue for you?

    • @WildTouring
      @WildTouring  Рік тому +1

      Hey Paul, I’ve used several TPMS units over the years, the iCheck is hands down the best. The owner Sam is very innovative, he is constantly making changes to make his products better than anyone else’s- and it’s working!
      I definitely needed a signal booster for the length of my setup, with that I’ve had no connectivity issues.
      I think they’re on back order now, some new ones due in a couple of weeks. The new ones are even better than the model I’ve had the past two years. New ones automatically reset alarms to your set pressures every time a tyre sensor is taken off and put back on- significance of that is when you deflate tyres for unsealed roads and screw the tyre sensors back on, the 25psi or whatever your tyres at now becomes the set tyre pressure automatically. Any variance 20% higher or lower sets off an alarm. When you pump them back up to 45psi or whatever your road pressures are, that now b eomes your set pressure (again, variance of 20% higher or lower sets of alarms). So there is literally no setup or programming anymore, very intuitive gear!
