Fishing Report:

Well the Barra & Bluewater Fishing Safaris have been awesome out at Dundee. With good Barra keepers being landed in the Little & Big Finniss Rivers and some fantastic Pelagic & Jewfish fishing down at Peron Islands. All Groups booking again for later in the year or coming back next year for more action.

A 5 Day Barra & Bluewater Safari on Mothership at the Mouth of the Daly River, 50+ Great Barramundis were landed over 2 days including Metrey’s with the largest going 115cm 35Lb Beauty at the hands of Client Michael Stephenson from Newcastle, and many high 90’s to 65cm range were landed along the Coastal Creeks.

See photos attached and as printed in Alex Julius NT Newspaper fishing report today.

Personal Bests were all broken and new limits set for all clients on Barra, Jewfish, Snapper and Queenfish. Spanish Mackerel GTs, and Mack Tuna busting up bait balls on the surface everywhere when the wind slowed. Clients were having a ball with Twin and Triple hook ups on 8 and 10Kg GT’s and Spanish Macks. With Neap Tides ending and Spring Tides coming upon us next week, we will be focusing on areas such as Dundee & Finniss Rivers when tides allow, then Corroboree Billabong, Hardies Lagoon, Leaders Creek for Day Trips.
