Nope! All fishing charters and tours provide the necessary fishing gear, bait, and tackle. Just bring your sunscreen, hat, and a sense of adventure!
What can I expect to catch on a Darwin fishing tour?
Darwin offers a wide range of fish species, including the iconic barramundi, golden snapper, giant trevally, threadfin salmon, and more. The species you’ll encounter depends on the season and the type of tour you choose.
Are fishing tours in Darwin suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! Many fishing tours cater to both beginners and experienced anglers. The tour guides will provide tips, support, and all the equipment you need to make sure you have a fantastic day on the water.
Can I keep the fish I catch?
