Had a day out with Rob with two mates from interstate and we all landed a barramundi each. Rob shared so many tips along the way that it felt less like a charter and more like being taught to fish for life.

johnson river

A custom-built rig set up for two kinds of fishing: sight-casting the shallows and mangrove edges, and working the reef country out in the harbour.

The helm station with sonar screens and swivel seats

serious kit

Active Target sonar, a bow-mounted electric and a Power-Pole for holding position in fast running tides.

room to fish

Three to four anglers, never more. No packed deck, no fighting for casting space.

hey there!

I'm Rob. I've been fishing the Top End for 30 years, and I still get a kick out of putting someone on their first barra. When you book Fishseeker you're dealing directly with me, not a booking platform or a call centre.
