Northern Territory Fishing Story

Northern Territory fishing stories told by anglers fishing in the Top End, chasing Barramundi at Shady Camp, Finniss River, Mary River, Vernon Islands..

..and all those special creeks and reefs only the most experienced Top End fisho's know about.

The NT rivers and coastal waters are a unique wilderness, and provide some of the best fishing found anywhere.

This is where you can read first hand the adventures of those lucky enough to fish these waters, teeming with fish, crocodiles and birdlife.
