Barra or Blue Fishing Charters

Australia’s Northern Territory may be famed for its outback landscapes, but did you know that it’s home to impressive angling opportunities? Whether you’re looking to hook Aussie favourites such as Barramundi, or want to reel in big game, Capt. Lincoln Kirby’s just the man to show you what these waters hold. Come aboard Barra Blue Fishing Charters and get ready to swap sand and deserts for Salmon and Snapper!

Capt. Lincoln is a local fisherman who’s built up a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the waterways throughout Darwin and the Top End of the Northern Territories. His charter company may be brand new, but you’ll be guaranteed an adventure that’s jam-packed with plenty of top tips, tricks, and angling know-how. Your captain warmly welcomes guests of all ages and skill levels to come aboard, and will tailor your trip to target the species you’d most like to hook.

Whether you’re cruising the rivers or heading out onto saltwater fishing grounds, you’ll be travelling on a 25’ Contender center console. She’s capable of accommodating up to 6 guests, with room for everyone to cast off at the same time. She’s decked out with GPS to guide you onto the hot spots, as well as life jackets for all ages, and a private toilet.

Depending on where you’d like to fish, the species you’ll be targeting will vary – but either way, you’ll have the chance to hook a seriously enviable catch! The surrounding waterways are home to Barramundi, Threadfin Salmon, Black Jewfish, and more. When it comes to saltwater species, get ready to meet anything from Red Emperor Snapper, Longtail Tuna, and maybe even a Sailfish or two.

Your captain will make sure you’re equipped with top-notch rods, reels, tackle, and lures. And, no fishing license is required, so you don’t need to purchase it. If you’re a keen fly fisherman, make sure to bring your best rods and reels. Come aboard Barra Blue Fishing Charters and discover just what this part of Australia has to offer!

Chasing barramundi & had our chances, just couldn’t get one into the boat. A few other catches were very enjoyable, though.
