Where do we fish?It’s a secret, but we travel up to 100 km each way on our day trips to reach some of the best fishing the Northern territory has to offer. Fuel costs are not a limiting factor. Some of our fishing spots – Offshore Waters West, North and East of Darwin, the Vernon islands, Offshore Dundee Beach, Peron islands, Tiwi Islands, Bynoe Harbour, Cape Hotham, and so many remote reefs and shoals.
