Cahills Crossing Croc Fishing Part 1

Now this place has to be seen to be believed.
 It was a 1km walk from our camp site on we had been told you must go at high tide.  So off we went not sure what we would see.
It is a road that goes through to Arnhem land, its the east Alligator River Crossing.
At high tide the sea water rises causing the road to be covered quite deep and the fish, mullet and barramundi jump both ways over the causeway providing a meal for the lurking crocodiles.
There were about 8 crocs there just cursing about when we arrived about 1/2 before high tide. But there were also about 6 fisherman standing on the causeway in over ankle deep water fishing for barra too. They did not seemed too concerned and one fellow even tried to catch the fish with his hands after losing his rod when casting. This evidently happens daily and quite a crowd of people watch with cameras in hand.There is a viewing platform quite high above the road  and river but you are only about 8 metres from the water so see everything really well.

Before the tide rise with just a few fisherman

Trying to hand fish!!!

Now the Crocs turn in the same place, he swims over the causeway catching fish along the way
