New Look, Same Skipper If you’ve spotted Jayson lately, you’ll notice the dreadlocks have officially arrived. Whether they’re a fashion statement, a time saver or just another way to scare the fish into biting, we’re rolling with it. Sun, salt and fish slime approved! 😉 Cod on the Line Somewhere between the end of the year madness and a rare quiet moment on the water, Jayson hooked onto some cracking cod! One of those fish that makes you slow everything down for a minute. So

Before the chaos of runoff season kicks off and the salties start calling again, there’s this little window of calm — December.  It’s that time when the rods get a bit of a rest, the boat gets a once-over, and the crew finally has a moment to take a breath (and maybe a cold one, too). ;)  For most fishos, the lead-up to runoff is a mix of excitement and patience. You can feel it building! That buzz knowing big barra season is just around the corner.  But right now? It’s all a

November has been an absolute whirlwind here at JUST DOON IT! Full of birthdays, family adventures, fishing highs, and giving back to our amazing community. Honestly, we feel like we blinked and suddenly it’s December… but what a month it has been! 🎉 Birthday Fun on the River November means a very special celebration — Jayson’s birthday on November 28th. And true to form, the Capt’n wanted nothing more than to spend it on the water. There’s just something about being out on

Whether you’re keen to tick the mighty barra off your bucket list or just chasing a good laugh on the water, one of the biggest questions we get is: Should I go for a shared charter or book the whole boat privately? It’s a fair question. Both options promise an unforgettable day on the water, but the experience can be pretty different depending on what you’re after. So, let’s break it down nice and simple so you can pick what suits you best! 🎣 Shared Charters — The Social Wa

October came in hot and windy, but that didn’t stop Just Doon It from keeping busy both on land and water. Between tool belts, wedding bells, and a cheeky new drop, this month’s been a blast! ⚒️ Back on the Tools Let’s start with Jays, who’s swapped the fishing rod for the toolbelt (for now). He’s been back on the tools with his brothers at Doonplumb & Doonspark over in Yarrawonga. The mullet’s been tucked under the hat in quite a feral ‘ponytail’ - much to his brothers disgu

The countdown’s on! The Cod Classic is almost here, and we’re buzzing! We can almost feel it in the air. That mix of excitement, anticipation, and the faint smell of outboard fuel. From December 5–7, all eyes are on Lake Mulwala, and the Just Doon It crew is stoked to be right in the thick of it. If you’ve never been to the Cod Classic before, here’s the vibe: thousands of fishos, boats everywhere, friendly banter flying left and right, and that good ol’ Aussie fishing spir

It’s been all go around here, with plenty happening both on the water and off it. September served up a good mix of barra action, family milestones, and a bit of travel thrown in for good measure. Between the laughs, the long days, and a couple of surprises we didn’t see coming, there’s been no shortage of stories to share. Grab a cold one, settle in — here’s the latest from our corner of the NT. 🍻🎣 🎣 Wrapping Up the Season We’ve officially wrapped up our last charters fo
