The Northern Territory is an amazing place to fish with so many different varieties from Saratoga (not edible) but a great fighting fish through to Coral Trout, Trevally , Salmon, Queenfish, Mackeral, Jewfish, Tuna, Snapper – I could go on forever but my favourite and most other peoples favorite on Darwin Fishing Charters is BARRAMUNDI! Recently I was with some of these guys running Fishing Charters from Darwin at Corroboree Billabong about 1.5 hours from Darwin.
The place is amazing with so much wildlife. You could almost film Crocodile Dundee V or whatever number they are up to here. There is so much wildlife from birds like the Jabiru to saltwater crocs and with a bit of luck some decent sized Barramundi just waiting to be caught. If you don’t want to read any further I only got a couple and they were not writing home about. I guess I could put them through Photoshop and make them twice as big to post here but maybe next time
After launching the boat I normally head to the upper reaches at top speed but one of the guys I was with said lets try the lilies ( that does not look like it is spelt correctly) just over from the boat ramp. They are a perfect spot for Barra but this time with a plastic lure my mate got a Saratoga on the second pass which was a nice effort. Pity the plastics and Saratoga don’t mix well (= the lures get destroyed. Like kicking a brand new football on a rough bitumen road!).
Anyway the rest of the day was in my favorite area and produced 5 Barramundi all up. 1 ended up on the dinner plate the other 4 are there hopefully for next time. Just a little bigger!

To me personally presently there is actually practically nothing more wonderful compared to angling, whenever I find the opportunity.I like the peacefulness and quiet within my interest, as others do I am certain. Thanks for your insightful opinions I love reading them so much. Many thanks.
