Run Off – February to May – Shady Camp (3 – 6 days)

During the run off we run our safaris on the waters of the Mary River system that flows into Chambers Bay and the creeks on the coast of Finke Bay.

Our team of guides have extensive knowledge of river system during the Run Off and will get you in the right spot at the right time. The fishing in this location is not only the Barramundi form 50cm to 140cm but also Threadfin Salmon over a meter, Golden Snapper, Blue Salmon and the pulling power of the Black Jewfish.

Dont forget the flora and fauna at this time of year is amazing with the birdlife, the crocodiles in their own habitat, wild pigs and where the water buffalo converge on the floodplains.

The following is also included – all meals while on Safari, remote lodge accomodation, freezing and packaging for airline travel of your fish.
