Northern Territory Fishing

Deep Sea Fishing © Ben+Sam

The Northern Territory is a sport fisherman's paradise, offering a vast range of fishing experiences on the inland billabongs, tidal rivers, mangrove-lined estuaries and in the clean and clear coastal waters. Particularly exciting are encounters with the barramundi, a predatory fighting fish found in the rivers and billabongs, renowned for its strong runs and high jumps. Among the prey in the ocean and Darwin harbour are black jewfish and snapper. There are plenty of fishing lodges and boat charters on offer, as well as guided fishing safaris.
