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.

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!

Everything is good but not the best weather I would have a fishing trip, the wind is a bit too chill and it gets dark earlier than summertime.

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!

Book with Jacob. He knows what he's doing and he'll look after you really well. He can clean your fish and you can have your fish prepared at the Ochre restaurant. Talk to Jacob and he'll sort it. Our experience was very good.

If you want to catch a lot of fish you need to go to the reef and the weather does not always cooperate especially in the winter. The estuary is an experience all by itself. Be patient and enjoy. Fishing is an experience. The catching of actual fish is just a possible outcome of that experience.
