Fishing in Australia

Australia offers an unparalleled diversity of fishing experiences, from tropical northern rivers teeming with Barramundi to the deep blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef where Black Marlin roam. The Northern Territory stands out for its legendary Barramundi fishing, with charters expertly navigating remote river systems where anglers can sight-cast to schools of these powerful fighters. Along the coastline, inshore adventures yield Mangrove Jack, Golden Snapper, and Giant Trevally, while offshore excursions target Spanish Mackerel, Coral Trout, and prized game fish like the iconic Black Marlin off Cairns.

Freshwater anglers find exceptional opportunities in Australia's rivers and lakes, targeting Australian Bass, Murray Cod, and the acrobatic Saratoga. From Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay to the pristine estuaries of Arnhem Land, professionally guided charters provide access to prime locations while ensuring adherence to regional regulations and sustainable practices. Whether you're a beginner enjoying a half-day family trip or a seasoned angler embarking on a full-day trophy hunt, Australia's vast waterways promise unforgettable adventures amidst stunning landscapes.

The convenience of booking directly with experienced local operators ensures tailored itineraries and deep regional knowledge. Many charters include modern amenities like onboard BBQs and comfortable vessels, transforming fishing trips into comprehensive coastal experiences. With options ranging from specialized fly-fishing excursions to crab-hunting adventures, Australia's fishing charters deliver world-class angling against the backdrop of the continent's unique natural beauty.

Australia Fishing Seasons

January

This month, the Gamakatsu Team Series for Bream begins. This will continue until July, all along the East Coast. But, truth be told, fishing is on fire wherever you are down under!

February

Catch top species like Blue Marlin and Barramundi this month, as fishing is on fire wherever you go. From the inshore rivers to the reefs, all the way out to the deep waters, there's always something biting.  

March

The Pirtek Fishing Challenge has you catching and snapping your fish before releasing them. Join in from any territory and catch the biggest freshwater fish. Fancy saltwater? No problem, it's still going strong.

April

Every Easter weekend is the Australian Snapper Championships. These are held out of Whyalla Marina, and give you the chance of getting in on the incredible reef fishing action this time of year. 

 

May

Join in the Whaleshark Festival at Exmouth to welcome the return of Whale Sharks. Activities, a talent-show, seaside cinema, and more await. Otherwise, make the most of the end of the good weather for reef fishing.

 

June

While Blue Marlin fishing continues to be great, things are changing when it comes to fishing in Australia. Winter is upon us, so you may be more inclined to take an inshore or freshwater trip.

 

July

Despite it being winter, there are still plenty of angling hotspots to explore around the country. Inshore and freshwater fishing dominate, but, if the waters are calm, an offshore trip isn't out of the question. 

August

Will you catch the biggest Marlin at the Cairns Bluewater Billfish Tournament? Fishing is red hot in northern Queensland, with inshore fishing heating up too. Just be prepared for changeable weather. 

September

September to November are some of the best times to target Marlin. Pick a calm day and get out on to the deep waters. You'll have a great story to tell after a long fight with these predators!

October

The Cardwell Barra Bonanza is a great tournament targeting Australia's favourite fish. After the event, there's an open-air dinner and live entertainment. Come and make the most of the season closer!

November

The National Fly Fishing Competition is held in Australia annually every November. But, it changes locations from year to year. If you're looking on getting your fish on and exploring new places, this is the time to do it. 

December

See out the year in style, as you make the most of the great weather and even better fishing. December is a great time to be in Australia. Fishing for almost all species is hot all around the country!
