"Can the Barra get Better"

We’ve had a number of enquiries regarding our availabilities for the remainder of the 2010 season, so I’ve put together some of the dates you may like to consider for you next visit to Cape Don Experience Fishing lodge for this season. Keep in mind that the dates and boats available are as at the date of this update (03/08/10).


Guests have experienced some big days out on the water. The photo shows one of those exhilarating moments when you get a real feel of what fishing in the Top End is all about. If only every day could be the same, calm seas, just the right amount of light on the water, tide not too fast or slow and it’s the 5th big fish you’ve pulled in over the side of the boat. Even the guide has his eyes wide open. It comes as no surprise that many of our guests are taking advantage of our last minute fishing deals and experiencing their second and in some cases third and forth visit to the Don.

August, September, October will see more of the pelagic fish species to target, however, for the angler who wishes to fish for as many different species as possible, this is a good time for you.  These months consistently produce the most diverse fishing available from the challenge of Barramundi in the creeks to sight fishing over clear water shallow reefs for the powerful Giant Trevally and Queen fish or the thrill of the open water speedster, the Spanish Mackerel on light tackle.

Our rates cover an all inclusive stay with the only other additional item being alcohol which is ordered prior to arrival.
