25.01.2022 C-MAP ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEW WEBSITE FOR RECREATIONAL BOATERS C-MAP, a leader in digital marine cartography and cloud-based mapping, has announced the launch of the new C-MAP website catered to recreational boaters. The new website, www.c-map.com, features rich content covering the entire C-MAP range, is optimized for mobile devices, and delivers an enhanced user experience making it easier for consumers to find the chart they need via new location, chart or device compati...bility searches. Consumers who want to find a chart by geographical location can search by MY AREA, which will show available charts in and around the consumer’s location or area of their choosing. Clicking on any of the charts in the search results provides a detailed product description of the chart. The new CHARTS search gives consumers an overview of different chart technologies available, along with an at-a-glance chart comparison guide. One of the most significant features of the new site is the capability to filter a search by device compatibility, under DEVICES. This removes the hassle of chart comparison tables or conducting online searches about device compatibility, by providing a list of compatible chart options based on consumer chartplotter brand and model. We are excited about the launch of the new C-MAP website, said Knut Frostad, CEO, Navico. The new site not only provides a more enjoyable user experience, but also better serves consumers by making it easier for them to quickly find the chart that will meet their boating needs. The site also includes a Dealer Locator, and a new Buy Now function that makes purchasing a chart on the site fast and easy, ensuring the smoothest possible consumer experience. For more information about C-MAP or its entire line of marine cartography products, please visit www.c-map.com.

23.01.2022 Back in the day, you didn't rate big barra by length; if you could just squeeze a beer can in its gob, that was good enough. These two stonkas came from the East Alligator River, sadly killed but we didn't know better.
23.01.2022 Always look forward to catching up with this pair. My good friends Tim and OTTS Down the Daly for another shot at the Barra Nationals.... Staying at our favourite place the Daly River Barra Resort.

22.01.2022 Great NAFA cover with Crystal Neal. NAFA 36. Big South Alligator barra. One of our best. We had so much great feedback. Comments like: it's just like a US cover re bass fishing. Crystal Neal
22.01.2022 It was damn hot in Kakadu during the NAFA Good Gear Shoot, but once again we were stoked with just how well the 60L myCOOLMAN performed, stowed as it is under the forward casting platform. We used the magnetic myCOOLMAN Power Pack which kept the fridge running all day on the water. This meant we didn't need to tap into the boat's batteries. We simply put the fridge on 240 mains overnight while the Power Pack charged. It's a great setup. myCOOLMAN

18.01.2022 The Mustad Inkvader is a weapon to behold. Each octopus replica comes with 10 ink tubes. When you jig it up and down above the sea floor, it squirts ink!!! Up here in the tropics, reef fish can't help themselves. We can't wait to try them on jewfish. Note also the Mustad Fastach clips. Haven't they changed the way we attach leaders to lures?
