Fishing


There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush you experience when you hook your first big barramundi – or even your fiftieth. And as unlikely as that sounds, in the Territory’s untouched, fish filled waters, it’s a reality.

Get a feel for what’s beneath the surface on a day trip with Darwin’s Barra Base. Scan glistening rivers and billabongs for saratoga, tarpon and fork tailed catfish, and keep an eye out for our mighty saltwater crocodiles. Luckily, there’s more than enough catch for the two of you!

Venture further out to our ocean reefs with Equinox Fishing Charters for a week of chasing jewfish, coral trout, red emperor and spanish mackerel, with the tropical Tiwi Islands in the background. The size, weight and power of these species will test your skills and deliver a true sense of achievement when you pull them in.

Sink your line even deeper with Fish Darwin, which specialises in seeking out the bottom dwellers like giant trevally, long tail tuna and queenfish. Jump on an extreme tour for the thrill of big bounty sports fishing, and have the ocean all to yourself.

Go seriously remote, and experience a unique mix of fresh and salt water fishing when you head to Dundee Beach to join Anglers Choice on a once-in-a-lifetime aquatic safari, where barra is on the menu once again. Not surprisingly, you won’t get sick of it.

Off The Hook…

A Territory Discoveries’ Fishing Tale

Fishing - it’s a man’s sport… Or is it?!

Having never fished before, I was slightly apprehensive when my colleague Rebecca English (Inside Sales Support), suggested we spend a day trawling a river system of the Top End looking for the very elusive barramundi.


Barras (from photos I’ve seen) are BIG fish; will I be able to reel one of these in, if I did catch it? The river system in the Top End – isn’t that where crocodiles roam? What about putting the bait on the hook? Eeekkk! Read more...
