Bynoe Harbour Escape

3-8 days fishing across the top end with a focus on shallow water sight casting for Barramundi in Bynoe Harbour

700 Square kilometres of tropical fishing paradise

Mangrove lined river and creek systems, sand flats, bays, inlets, islands and coastal reefs, means Bynoe Harbour is a shallow water angler's paradise.

As a fishing travel destination, Bynoe Harbour is a great wilderness escape. It's a region of unspoiled beaches, and many low wooded islands surrounded by clear water, rocky headlands and sandy tidal flats that can turn on some heart pumping fishing when the conditions are right.

Tide is crucial to a successful trip and the seven days leading up to the full and new moons are the prime time.

Bynoe Harbour is a barramundi fishers dream destination. The many islands, creeks, bays and rocky outcrops provide world class barramundi fishing with bonus species like trevally, queenfish, blue and king threadfin salmon, mangrove jack, golden snapper, barracuda, black jewfish, shark, grunter, cod and others.

As elsewhere in the Northern Territory, estuarine crocodiles, and many bird species are common and can provide opportunity for amazing photographs.
