Many Fish Species
Quite
simply, the fishing is just sensational! That's not
just because you are fishing in a very lightly
fished areas around the Tiwi Islands, packed with
all the sought-after tropical species such as
Barramundi, Threadfin Salmon, Blue
Salmon, Golden Trevally, Queenfish, Golden Snapper,
Mangrove Jacks, Black Jewfish, Grunter, Mackerel
and a host of others. The fishing is sensational
because of the environment in which you are invited
to fish. Surrounded by such pristine beauty
spectacularly clear water, coral reefs, pristine
white beaches that adorn the Tiwi Islands, devoid of
footprints, and indeed any sign of human habitation.
Rock-bars that inspire awe amongst the devoted
angler. |

Turtles, Dugong, Crabs
An abundance of
turtles, dugong and crabs on sandbars. Crocodiles
both of the saltwater and freshwater Johnson River
species. Cruising sharks, feeding dolphins,
occasional whales, Giant Turtles laying eggs on a
remote beach. Its difficult to remember a trip when
something quite spectacular and unexpected didn't
happen! The fishing almost becomes secondary, as you
steep your spirit in the wonder of your
surroundings. But then, not quite overcome by your
surroundings, you recover sufficiently to throw your
first lure at a likely fish Barramundi
infested rock-bar, or load your rod and cast your
fly mere inches in front of a cruising fish on the
most awesome flat you have ever seen, or you drop
your carefully baited line straight down onto a reef
that shows teeming fish on the sounder and suddenly,
you're on! Everything comes up tight! Truely fishing
at it's best! |

Hand
to Hand Combat
Line, rod, reel, your
arms, and that strange sensation around your heart!
And now you are not admiring the wilderness, you are
a part of it. The rod bucks, the fish jumps and
charges. It's desperate, hand-to-hand combat. A
subtle reminder, of what it was you were here for.
It is at this time you ponder in the midst of
battle, the saying that " fishing is meant to be
relaxing. Perhaps this is true, had I not put a line
in the water. Finally, exhausted, you bring your
capture to the boat, thrilling to the intensity of
colour and the majesty of a truly wild fish. A quick
photo to capture the memory of your fishing
adventure for life, and another strange sensation as
your guide gently revives the fish and restores it
to the wilderness to live, grow and who knows? Maybe
provide another grateful angler with a similar
experience. You and the wilderness are now one.
