Darwin Day Trips
What to
Expect
Darwin day trips are perfect for anyone visiting Darwin who wants to have a crack at Barramundi fishing and only has a day to spare. Around 8 hours is spent on the water and transport, lunch, snacks, drinks and equipment are all included.
Run-off Season
From late February – May depending on the wet season, Barramundi gather in the run-off creeks and big tidal rivers to feed on bait fish leaving the flood plains. This makes for an incredible time to fish some of the most picturesque spots in the NT with a good chance of catching barramundi.
Dry Season
From May – November we target barramundi in the picturesque billabongs and river systems where many people just come for the scenery and wildlife. When tides and weather suit, we also do saltwater trips into the harbours and rivermouths where there is a variety of other fish to catch like threadfin salmon, queenfish, mangrove jacks, GT’s, golden snapper and more.
Run-off Day Trips
Run-off day trips out of Darwin are a great option for anyone looking to catch a Barra. February to May is the peak Barra season and can produce some of the hottest fishing of the year. We focus on the large tidal rivers near Darwin as the end of the wet season triggers a feeding frenzy in the Barramundi. The whole food chain erupts with the inflow of nutrients and baitfish from the wet season floods.
