The Coburg Peninsula & Arnhemland have been heralded as one of the best fishing locations in Australia, this is an idyllic setting where fish are abundant and people are sparse.

This pristine and beautiful tropical coastal wilderness environment of Garig Gunak Barlu National Park has been praised by such world famous sportsmen as Greg Norman and Rex Hunt as one of the best sports fishing destinations in Australia and the world. The mangrove lined estuaries are where the famed Barramundi and Mangrove Jacks provide a challenge to the angler.

Blue water sport fishing is excellent providing a large range of target species including Giant Trevally, Queenfish, Spanish Mackerel and sharks (Black Tips, Whalers and Tiger sharks).
