Testimonials From The Fishing Experts

The best recommendation for any product is by word of mouth, so we have compiled a small sample of quotes from experts and some sample comments from our visitors book at Cape Don for your enjoyment:

A Fishing Lodge With Endless List Of Sportfish!!!

“A remote fishing lodge with an endless list of sportfish on tap as well as top class hospitality and accommodation makes for a trip to remember.

Action packed and all too brief visit. In two and a half days we’d experienced the sort of fishing many anglers don’t see in a year, which is why one visit to a place like Cape Don is never enough!”

Saltwater Fishing Magazine

The World’s Best Fishing In The Top End…

“Some of the world’s best fishing is available on the northernmost tip of the Top End, a remote area that has little fishing pressure.

In some three hours of fishing we caught a smorgasboard of 60 odd fishing – mangrove jack, barramundi, trevally, queenfish, cod, barracuda and fingermark.”
