Fishing the Fitzroy for Barramundi
Fishing the Fitzroy net free zones for Barramundi and King Threadfin is certainly a ton of fun! The addition of a net free zone in Rockhampton has protected fish stocks from netting and created a recreational anglers paradise. They are dubbing it the Barra Capital of Australia! We headed down to Rocky intending on Fishing…
Smashed by Proserpine Dam Barramundi
On our way back from Rockhampton last month we decided to try for some Proserpine Dam Barramundi. Prossie Dam is notorious for big barra and where we filmed most of our Impoundment Module for Barra Basics. Back then, Karen had to jump in to untangle a big 120 cm fish from the weeds. And in…
Fish Filleting – Progress Not Perfection
OK so this blog about Fish Filleting is twofold. To show you how I fillet a fish leaving one side on and… To give you a life lesson in starting before you’re ready and slowly but steadily creating a life of your dreams. As many of you may know, was a charter fishing guide catching…

Slow pitch jigging for GTs in the Fin Fish Closure

Top Darwin fishing charters
As you may know, we love heading to the NT and often take a fishing charter around Darwin. That is when we don’t make the long trip and take our own boat. Having your own boat to explore the NT is the ultimate. But it’s such a long way hence we sometimes prefer to jump…
Fishing for barra in Darwin
I have been asked many times in recent years if fishing for Barra in Darwin is the same as on the east coast. In my experience, I have found them to have pretty much exactly the same habits everywhere. The only difference is you get a smaller window to have a crack at them aggregating…
Best time of year for barramundi fishing
I wish I got a dollar every time someone asks, What is the best time of year for barramundi fishing?” Mostly from people who want to book a charter and come at the best time. Or also from anglers towing their boat long distances for a fishing holiday and want to maximise their chance of…
Anchoring on a Fingermark school accidentally
While the wife planned a no fishing boat trip, I accidentally anchored on a Fingermark school. And all hell broke loose as I jigged up four from four. Although as you’ll see in the video, perhaps it wasn’t so “accidental”. Golden Snapper or Fingermark are a delicious food fish and great sportsfish to boot. When traversing…
