Humbug Fishing | Extended Fishing Charters, Darwin NT

Shady Camp in the Northern Territory is renowned for it’s crocodile numbers as well as it’s awesome big barra.  This video is a slight taste of some of the action you might see whilst trawling for your big barra, as you can see it gets the boys screaming and running away.  They don’t actually jump in the boat but I reckon the nervous camerman was thinking otherwise.

Shady Camp is part of the Mary River system, it provides boat access to the mangrove-lined section of Sampan Creek and Tommycut Creek, (where we anchor our mothership) for the barramundi runoff season, from Feb-May every year.  Very large barra are caught trawling the mouths of both creeks and a few of the other smaller creeks.  It’s a great place to be for the runoff, plenty of action on the water and sheer remoteness of the area gives you the feeling of really being away from it all.
