16 barra in a day. Double hookups. Curry crab for dinner.
It's official β crabbing season is open in the NT, and if our latest 5-day trip is anything to go by, the mud crabs are absolutely on the chew. π¦π₯
Our crew came up for barramundi β but we made sure they got the full NT experience. One day on the barra grounds, one day reef fishing, and one very memorable afternoon pulling crab pots. Back at , cook with our guests turned that fresh catch into something incredible: curry crab, chilli mud crab, and a barramundi feast that had everyone going back for seconds (and thirds).
Now β barra fishing in the transition? Here's the honest truth: some days you crack a couple. Other days? 16 barramundi in a single session, double hookup chaos, screaming drags β medium fish but 100% action. The guests weren't complaining, and neither were we. π
This is the beauty of a mixed itinerary. When you let us plan it around the season, the tides, and the target species β you get something no off-the-shelf tour can offer. Barra at the billabong. Coral reef species offshore. Mud crabs at sunset. And a breath-taking beachfront base at Dundee Beach Paradise to come home to.
π¬ Got a small group? A few days up your sleeve? Reach out and we'll propose a custom itinerary β species, locations, accommodation, the lot.
