challenge is out there for the angler.
Besides the Barramundi, the
Territory offers many other species such as Queenfish, tackle destroying
trevally, saratoga, threadfin salmon, mangrove jack, and pelagics such as
Spanish mackerel, tuna and even marlin and sailfish. Then you can head to the
bottom and do battle with the reef dwellers such as big black jewfish, coral
trout, red emperor and golden snapper. The species don’t stop there.
