Darwin Here I Come

[Derek Bullock]

I have just accepted a job in Darwin and will be heading up that way very soon.

Can anyone give me some advice on land based fishing around the area.

Thanks

Derek one spot that i know is go to the channel island boatramp and walk to the end of the point on the left you are a good chance to get some queenies or trevs there .
just make sure anywhere you go to keep an eye out for crocs

good luck with the job mate and better yet good luck with the fishing up there

you can fish off the wharf off the front of darwin, have seen some big fish cruise the those pilons, you will need a xtra long gaff.

You can also go down the along the river banks, around the rocky foreshore where the fish market is.

Last time I was up there we just had a look around for spots to fish but didnt fish them, as we were headed over to melvile island.

Just remember there are bit saltwater bities around so keep that in mind.

Hi
From memory think it is called Buffalo creek. Down along the lee point road. There is a boat ramp there as well.

Great fishing up there and lots of people tend to head out towards the islands.

Good luck

[Why Not]

Rapid creek near Casurina fishes well for Barra on the right tides. The foreshore down near the outdoor cinema is also a nice place with plenty of parking close by. Elizabeth River Bridge area isn't too bad, but watch your vehicle.

Whiting on the foreshore down near Buffalo Creek also in the dry season. The crocs in the harbor are kept under control so don't believe all the stories.
