Anglers seeking barra know the best place to look is the Northern Territory. Fishing NT promotes the great fishing opportunities avialable along the Top End whether it be deep sea or bottom bashing, light blue water fishing, heavy game fishing or estuary river fishing.
Cobia, saratoga, golden snapper, mahi mahi, barramundi, mangrove jack, threadfin salmon, trevally, queenfish, mackerel, coral trout and jewfish are just a few of the great species you'll be up against when fishing NT. For any visitors coming to fish NT, knowing the right place to fish is important.
Sailfish and Marlin are undoubtedly the most sought after game fish and the Northern Territory is no exception to the vast habitat of such fish. While lighter game fish including dolphin fish (mahi-mahi), mackerel and tuna are available there is still no thrill to reeling in or satisfaction of catching a big billfish.
A common mistake made by those without much knowledge of fish is mistaking sailfish for marlin and vice verca. The key different in the fin shape – the marlin’s fin slowly lowers like a slope whereas the sailfish’s fin domes up and is much larger in comparison to the fish. The images below provide an excellent comparison.
