Fishing in Darwin

Darwin fishing charters offer unparalleled access to Australia's Top End, renowned for its exceptional Barramundi fishing. With the largest populations of Barra in the country, these hard-fighting fish dominate the waterways year-round, especially during the run-off season when they swarm creeks and rivers to feed. Chart your adventure across diverse environments—from Darwin Harbour's mangroves and shipwrecks to the remote Tiwi Islands—targeting species like Golden Snapper, Coral Trout, and Spanish Mackerel.

Seasonal patterns shape prime opportunities: the dry season (May–October) delivers ideal bluewater conditions for Longtail Tuna, Queenfish, and Sailfish offshore, while the wet season runoff floods billabongs and estuaries, concentrating Barra in accessible hotspots. Extended charters explore iconic reefs like Charles Point and Bass Reef, with customized trips reaching Bathurst or Melville Islands for legendary trophy catches.

Whether you prefer half-day harbor excursions or multi-day wilderness expeditions, Darwin charters cater to all anglers. Expect tailored guidance from local experts, with all equipment, meals, and fish-processing included. Experience the thrill of hooking meter-plus Barramundi amidst crocodile-inhabited floodplains or battling pelagics over offshore reefs—the Northern Territory’s ultimate angling frontier awaits.

Darwin Fishing Seasons

January

Wet season is starting. At this time of year Barra fishing is best in the mangrove creeks and estuaries. In the Top End estuaries you can also fish for Black Jewfish, Golden Snapper, Cod, Pikey Bream and more.

February

Estuaries, rivers, and coastal creeks continues to yield success when fishing for Barra and other fish. Anglers can take refuge from the storms in these sheltered waters.

March

Run-off season is here, with some of Darwin’s best Barra fishing in full swing! Bluewater fishing is also kicking off at this time of year.

April

Run-off season continues, with many fish moving to open waters as the floodplains drain into the sea. In the Bluewater you can target game fish and reef fish.

May

Dry season is beginning, with bluewater fishing at its peak. Many anglers are targeting Barra in the clear water of landlocked billabongs and rivers.

June

As dry season continues, you can enjoy fishing inshore and offshore reefs. You are likely to catch Jewfish, Golden Snapper, Coral Trout, Nannygai, and much more.

July

Dry season is here to stay. In shallow creeks, Pikey Bream and Blue Salmon are at their peak season, while Longtail Tuna is peaking offshore.

August

Bluewater and coastal river fishing continue to offer their best. Inshore you can target Giant Herring on fly as they migrate into shallow waters during the dry season.

September

Dry season is coming to a close, with one last call for the year’s best Bluewater and reef fishing. The fish will continue to bite, but the weather doesn't get better than this.

October

This is when the build-up begins, with Barramundi breeding in the river mouths and estuaries. Billabongs are becoming warmer, where you will find good Barra and Saratoga fishing.

November

Threadfin Salmon are beginning to peak in shallow rivers and estuaries. Freshwater and saltwater fishing continue to yield success as temperatures and humidity rise in preparation for monsoon season.

December

Black Jewfish are at their peak season in the reefs, where you can continue fishing between storms for Golden Snapper, Tricky Snapper, Red Emperor, and more.
