Reef Fishing :

Groote Eylandt offers anglers the opportunity to experience some amazing reef fishing sessions.

The system surrounding Groote Eylandt consists of large patches of coral reefs, drop offs and bommies, all ideal habitats for reef dwellers.

Targeting reef fish is generally done using baits or by using weighted soft plastics. These fish can be hard to handle, they take long solid runs, stay deep and can easily bust you off on rocks or coral.

While reef fishing you will encounter mangrove jacks, much larger than those found in the creeks and estuaries, golden snapper, tricky snapper, coral trout, saddle-tail and scarlet snapper, spangled, long-nosed and red emperor, the mighty black jewfish and much more.
