Bring seasonings for your fish so you can go bbq it and eat it straight away. Pack salt pepper or other spices and lemon and some foil and a few forks. We just went straight to bundilla beach and cooked them all up. So so delicious!

This was our first time fishing in Darwin and our first time fishing for Barramundi. Rob, our skipper, was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where the fish were hiding. Rob taught us how and were to cast and different techniques to better our chances of catching a Barramundi.We both landed a barramundi and are very happy. A top day out, highly recommend!

I highly recommend booking with Robert if you are new to fishing or a seasoned professional. Robert is knowledgeable and helps explain the water, tides and fixed both mine and my partners technique which I continue to use fishing back in my local area.

Be aware of when Barra are best fished. Even though our date was a low season, Floran knew where to go and we got Barra.

Be keen to learn from the skipper and stay active while fishing eg check your bait regularly.

Not too hot at this time of year, but drink plenty of water & be liberal with the sunscreen.

Just do it. A great experience even if you don’t catch much. Old saying is an average day fishing is always better than a good day at work ?

Make sure that the boat you are travelling in has protection from the sun and plenty of fluids on board. It get very hot and humid.
