May to November is the Barramundi & Bluewater season when we fish the great coastlines of Dundee Beach and Bynoe Harbour, their external Islands and Reefs, and the famous Peron Islands.
It is also a time for fishing the saltwater tidal streams of the Finnis River catching the tremendous fighting, lure spitting, tail wagging Saltwater Barra.

| Saltwater and Reef Fishing in the Northern Territory. Species to be expected in the area alongside of Queenfish are the much sought after Spanish Mackerel, Golden and Giant Trevally and Barracuda with the odd Cod and Golden Snapper taking lures as well. |  |
 |  |
| Queenfish over a metre long are regularly being taken off headlands and reefs. These are fantastic sportfish, putting on hard sustained runs and acrobatic aerial displays in an attempt to free the lure. |  |

We travel early to the Sand Palms Motel and drop off bags, pick up lunches and travel on to Dundee and complete a full day Barra fishing chasing the almighty saltwater Barra, or bluewater and pelagic fishing depending on the tides and wind. Read full Barra & Bluewater itinerary....
