The Ultimate Dundee Beach Fishing Experience
Join us on one of our most rewarding charters! This full-day trip departs from the Dundee Beach boat ramp and runs down the coast to the Peron Islands, roughly 1.5 hours away, taking in some of the best reef and sportfishing water on the NT coastline.
You’ll be chasing the prized table fish Golden Snapper (Fingermark) and the arm-pulling Black Jewfish, backed up by Red Emperor, Grassy Emperor, Coral Trout, Tusk Fish and Cod, so there’ll be plenty of variety to keep everyone on the boat busy.
You don’t need to know where the fish are – that’s our job. Gerard puts 30+ years of local knowledge to work reading the season, tides and current conditions to find the best ground for the day, with dolphins and turtles for company and, if the timing’s right, Mackerel or Tuna busting up bait on the surface.

Prime Dundee Beach Fishing Year Round
Dundee Beach delivers quality fishing in every season. Whether you’re chasing hard-pulling bottom species or the chance at seasonal sport fish, there’s always something biting.
Don’t stress about picking the spot. We’ll confirm the best fishing ground before your tour based on current conditions.
All Year Round
The run down to the Peron Islands takes you through some of Dundee’s most reliable reef country, and the fishing holds up no matter when you book. Golden Snapper (Fingermark) are the prize most anglers are chasing – a genuine table fish that pulls hard and tastes even better. Alongside them, Black Jewfish provide some of the toughest fights you’ll find in NT waters, testing your arms as much as your gear. Round out your day with Red Emperor, Grassy Emperor, Coral Trout, Tusk Fish and Cod, and there’s plenty of variety to keep everyone on the boat busy.

Dry Season Bonus
May – October
When the water cools off through the dry, a second layer of fishing opens up on top of the year-round staples. Sport fish push through in bigger numbers, and the surface action gets seriously good. You can expect Queenfish smashing bait, hard-charging Trevally, and the odd Spanish Mackerel or Tuna putting your reel to the test – with a genuine chance of hooking a big Cobia along the way.

Meet Your Guide - Gerard
I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you as we explore the Top End’s stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, and world-class fishing opportunities. Whether you’re chasing that fish of a lifetime in Darwin Harbour or heading out to remote NT destinations, I’ll ensure you experience the very best the Territory has to offer.
With over 35 years of Top End fishing experience and 30 years as a Darwin local, I’ve fished all the major river systems and explored most of the NT coastline. My background as a professional photographer means I can also capture those trophy moments for you. After first visiting Darwin on a fishing tour in 1989, I was hooked—literally—and made the permanent move from Victoria in 1996.
I’ll help you plan the perfect trip by recommending the ideal time of year, selecting the best days based on tides and local conditions, and choosing locations that are fishing at their peak as your booking date approaches.
