Darwin Harbour is so different to the kind of fishing I’m used to.

Back where I used to live on the McArthur River near Borroloola, you never had to contend with too many other boats and certainly not ships. The shipping channel in Darwin Harbour can be good for fishing, but it is a NO ANCHOR zone.

No anchoring in the shipping channel is allowed. That’s where the electric motor with spot-lock is so handy for fishing.

In this episode I actually catch quite a few species of fish while fishing in Darwin Harbour. Golden Snapper, Bluebone/Tuskfish and Nannygai to name a few.
