Barramundi Fishing in the Northern Territory
The Roper River offers some of the best Barramundi fishing in the Northern Territory. This magnificent River flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria and is navigable for almost 170kms making the hot spot opportunities endless and the competition virtually non-existent. With 10 years of experience fishing the Roper River, Captain Dan and his crew have an intimate knowledge of the River and know exactly where to take you in search of the elusive “metrey” Barramundi.


What to expect on your Barra fishing charter:
The ”Darwin to mothership Grumman Mallard Seaplane Experience ” is only available on the Roper River charter.
Your charter will begin in Darwin where you will depart on the Grumman Mallard Amphibian Aircraft at 06:30hrs, arriving on the back deck of the Iron Lady at 08:30hrs.
Once onboard, breakfast will be served and the fishing gear will be loaded into the skiffs ready for you to blow away your casting blues and catch your first barramundi in the NT.
For the duration of your charter with us, kick back and enjoy your fishing adventure while everything is taken care of. The Iron Lady will become your home, where you can relax and enjoy meals provided by the chef and a cold drink and nibbles upon your return back on the Iron Lady at the end of each day.
Every day, you will be guided to a number of different locations, timing dependent on the tides and hot spots, learn about the local area and new fishing techniques from your personalized guide.
On your last day, you will depart the Iron Lady at approximately 09:45hrs on the Grumman Mallard Amphibian Aircraft for a relaxing scenic trip back to Darwin with 2 hours to reminisce on your week of fishing adventures.
