Kimberley Sport Fishing Adventure
Kimberley Fishing Charters
The Kimberley is one of the last true fishing frontiers and the crew aboard Hyland-C have been exploring the region fishing new locations, trying new techniques and targeting new species to come up with a range of Kimberley Charters that truly show what frontier fishing is all about.
And as a bonus you get to explore the sights and sounds of the Kimberley, the waterfalls, towering escapement cliffs, whales, bird life, aboriginal rock paintings and much much more.
The Fishing
From Barramundi, Mangrove Jacks & Threadfin Salmon in the estauries to Golden Snapper, Black Jew Fish & Coral Trout on the Reefs to Big GT's, Queenfish, Spanish Makerel, Marlin & Sailfish. All of this and more is available on one of these charters.
The Crew on Hyland-C have found a new Sailfish and Marlin fishery with regular multiple hookups and great success chasing these billfish. This new location is now included in some of the itineraries.
