Barramundi Sports Fishing

Northern Territory

Choose from Arnhem Land or the Roper River Charters.

February - July

We fish in two fantastic locations. First is the Roper River in the SW Gulf of Carpentaria. Here, the target species is (big) barramundi, and you have a good chance of catching the famed ‘Metery’. There will be a few other fish around, and if you pick a week with the right tides, mud crabs or freshwater prawns should be on the menu.

Secondly, we fish in the eleven remote rivers feeding Arnhem and Buckingham Bays in NE Arnhem Land. Here, we also target barramundi but have the opportunity to catch a range of other species, including golden snapper, jewfish, threadfin salmon, and giant trevally. In this location, we can guarantee that mud crabs will be on the menu.
