Roper River Fishing

Unleash your angler’s instinct and indulge in the thrills of reeling in a variety of prized catches with our Roper River fishing charters.

Barramundi Fishing Charters in the Northern Territory

Teeming with a diverse range of fish species, the Roper River is renowned as one of Australia’s premier fishing destinations. This magnificent river flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria and is navigable for almost 170 km, making the hot spot opportunities endless and the competition virtually nonexistent.

With 10 years of experience fishing the Roper River, Captain Dan and the Australian Sportfishing Charters crew have an intimate knowledge of the river. You can be confident that we know exactly where to take you in search of the elusive “metrey” Barramundi.
