Groote Eylandt:

Fishing these virtually untouched waters offers anglers a truly remote and memorable experience. The fishing opportunities are endless and anglers will experience a variety of fishing options..

BOOK NOW FOR THE RUN-OFF

With excellent rainfall to date and an above average wet season predicted we are expecting excellent "run-off" conditions right across the Top End. The "run-off" is when the flood waters recede and the baitfish which have until now found relative safety on the flood plains are forced out of hiding and into the main river systems.

This is a great time for targeting big saltwater barra as they cruise the coastline and congregate in numbers around creek mouths looking for a quick and easy feed. Groote also offers some of the best blue water fishing in the NT so when you're done chasing barra head offshore to target hard fighting blue water pelagics like Northern Bluefin Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, GT's and Queenfish which inhibit these waters all year round. Coral Trout, Mangrove Jack and Golden Snapper are just some of the other reef species you may also encounter whilst fishing in this amazing area.

Call 0400 596 699 now to book your spot on the water.

The Fishing:

The fishing at Groote Eylandt offers anglers a unique opportunity to experience catching many different fish species. It's not often you can spend one day targeting barramundi in estuaries, or around rocky headlands and then spend the next day offshore, targeting game fish such as the majestic sailfish and mighty black marlin.
