    So you have saved up booked your holiday to the Northern Territory for the barramundi fishing trip of a life time. The mission to catch the huge barramundi, that you have been dreaming of catching for years. You may even feel exceptionally confident of easily bagging your prized barramundi, since you are proficient at catching them in your local dam.

     

    The main problems you are faced with when away on a fishing holiday are:

    No1: unless you have an extended amount of time to work out the local conditions for barramundi fishing, you may struggle to bag that huge barramundi with your name written all over it.

    No 2: It’s unlikely you will have your best fishing gear with you when you are away on holidays.

     

    The last thing you want to have happen is to hook up the barramundi of a life time only to lose it before you get it in because the gear you where using wasn’t up to the job.

     

    The easiest and quickest way to catch the prized barramundi is to go on a charter or with someone with exceptional local knowledge. If you are unsure which fishing guide to use I would suggest you head to the local pub and ask a few of the patron’s. You will very quickly be told in no uncertain terms, which are the best guide’s to go with.

     

    The advantages of local knowledge are many, you can’t beat the knowledge of someone who fishes the area regularly. They know all the tips and tricks, which bait or lures to use, which tides to fish, what gear is required, what parts of the river or lake produce the quality fish, the list goes on and on.

     

    Because the elements are so dramatically different between say Lake Awoonga near Gladstone and the Daly river in the Northern Territory. If you are used to fishing in Lake Awoonga you can’t expect to just turn up at the Daly river, go barramundi fishing and achieve the same results you are use to getting using the same gear and tactics and visa versa.

     

    To me anyway money spent on a decent barramundi fishing charter is money well spent when you come home with the pictures of the huge barramundi of a lifetime that the charter operator hooked you up with.

     

    The proof is in the pudding I suppose the picture below is of one of the guys I worked with on the Darwin LNG project. Having a look at the size of the barramundi he is holding do you think he was glad that he decided to go with a local charter??

    The father in laws turn this time. Errol also caught this barramundi while he was on a trip around Australia. He was barramundi fishing at Shady Camp just outside of Kakadu National Park. Seems to be that most of the best barramundi are coming out of the Northern Territory so far. Fortunately we haven’t had any stories of anyone being attacked by a river lizard while fishing up there!!

    Another great barramundi to add to the your best barra category. This one was caught by my mother in law whilst barramundi fishing on a trip around Australia. I will let Sue tell you the story.

     

    Caught in the Roper River in the Northern Territory on my second cast first time barra fishing. This was while we travelling around Australia in 2000.

    We cleaned the fish and cut it into inch wide slices and shaired it with several other people who had set up camp for the night in the same spot that we were camping. It was the sweetest tasting fish we had ever eaten being so fresh. We could not keep any for the next day though as we did not have a fridge. We look forward to going back travelling one day and to fishing in the Roper once again!!

    First best barramundi entry goes to a good mate of mine from NSW. Tony caught this great barramundi on a recent fishing trip in Kakadu on his day off while working up in the Northern Territory. Tony is an avid fisherman who is used to chasing Murray Cod down in NSW, but thought he would try his hand at barramundi fishing when presented with the opportunity. In case you hadn’t guessed by the huge grin on his face it was his first Barramundi!!!

    On a scenic drive through the woodlands and along the coast of Bathurst Island, it quickly becomes evident where the Tiwi Islands’ vibrant art community gets its inspiration.

    The colourful communities of the Tiwi Islands in the Timor Sea are just a short flight or ferry ride from Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory. Having developed in isolation, the Tiwi brand of Indigenous culture is unique, and uses diverse mediums to tell its stories.

    Visitors to the islands are greeted by brightly coloured homes and shop fronts, and significant totems. The art galleries on both Melville and Bathurst Island exhibit the traditional bark and canvas paintings as well as the more modern silk-screened cloth, woven accessories and pottery.

    Fishing charters operate in the coastal waters and offer some of the best fishing around. Be sure to book ahead though, as these are hot spots if you want to catch barramundi, mangrove jack, black jewfish and Spanish mackerel.

    While its star attraction is undoubtedly the famous Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge), Katherine and its surrounds include great fishing, hidden natural wonders and a rich indigenous and pioneering history. The region stretches from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the West Australian border. Around 300 kilometres south of Darwin, Katherine is set on the banks of the Katherine River. This unique outback town of around 11,000 people is the region’s major service centre.

    Katherine offers a wide range of accommodation, facilities and attractions, including museums, art galleries, character-filled pubs and historic sites. Other attractions within easy reach of the town include the Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park, the Katherine Hot Springs and Leliyn / Edith Falls. 90 kilometres north of Katherine is the gold rush town of Pine Creek, a treasure trove of heritage bush buildings and mining sites.

    Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge) covers an awesome 3,000 kilometres of magnificent escarpment country. Nitmiluk means ‘cicada place’ to the local Aboriginal people. The Katherine River flows through 13 separate gorges that carve their way through the Arnhem Plateau. You can canoe, cruise and swim between sheer cliffs to the sandy freshwater beaches of the main gorges, and view ancient Aboriginal rock paintings high on the rock faces. Waterfalls and rock pools are found along over 100 kilometres of walking tracks, beginning at the park’s visitor centre.

    An hour south-east of Katherine is Mataranka, where the famous Mataranka Thermal Pool is found. Travellers can enjoy a refreshing dip in the pools, which are surrounded by the rainforests of Elsey National Park. The Katherine region also offers excellent fishing. The Daly River area is a fishing hot spot, as is the Victoria River area, which includes the Gregory and Keep River National Parks. Nearby, the small historic towns of Pine Creek and Timber Creek are well worth a visit. The remote Gulf region also offers a fishing challenge. Anglers can base themselves at Borroloola and fish the McArthur River. Cape Crawford is also popular with anglers attracted by plentiful supplies of barramundi. The Barranyi National Park, located in the Sir Edward Pellew Group of islands is a haven for wildlife, providing a home for nesting turtles and migratory birds.

    Just came across some great tips for improving your catch rates the next time you are barramundi fishing, in a detailed article written by Keith Graham. Keith explains how you can land more quality barramundi by simple choosing the correct lure for the depth of water you are fishing in.

    �

    He also goes into detail about the rattle of a lure being more important than the colour. After all, as they say, most lures catch more fisherman than they do fish! I know from my own experience there have been times I have selected a lure at the tackle shop, based only on the colour looking good I’m sure I am not on my own there. The article isn’t just theory, as it is based on a recent barramundi fishing trip to Karumba. Keith and his son Matthew put these theory’s into practice and have the photo’s as proof.

    �

    To view Keith Graham’s article on how to improve you barramundi fishing results with your lure selection click here. The article is titled “Shake Rattle and Roll and the Three Amigos”.
