Remote Camp Fishing Adventure - Arnhemland

Remote camp fishing is all about getting away from the crowds. When you get off the beaten track to waters that are seldom fished you are almost guaranteed some exciting fishing.

You will fish the biggest estuary system along the Northern Territory coast. This system produces excellent lure fishing with over 30 recorded species being caught.

Location

Arnhemland, Endyalgout Island and Mini Mini Creek System

Getting there

A 50 minute flight from Darwin and you will be greeted with the sight of a maze of mangrove lined estuaries and several islands. Your aircraft will land on one of these islands and then it’s just a five minute walk to your accommodation.

The Camp

Permanent fan cooled tropical friendly tents with comfortable bedding, designed to catch the sea breezes will ensure a good nights sleep after a hard days fishing and a meal of Barra and mud crabs. Fresh water showers and septic toilets are a welcomed luxury for a remote camp.  

Meals

The camp has a large kitchen/dining area with fans, 240 volt power supply, ample fridges and freezers. Just because you are in the middle of no where doesn't mean you have to miss out on a good feed, Mud Crab and Barra are always on offer and you will also be pleased with great BBQ meals and roast dinners.
