Fishing Kurumba

There are two charter boats which do 1/2 and full day charters. We were up there a few weeks ago and went out on the 'Kerry D'. I cant remember the name of the other boat but the caravan parks have brochures for both. They were $85-90 for a 1/2 day charter which go roughly from 7am to 12:00 pm. I can't remember the cost for a full day trip.

You could try ringing the sunset caravan park to get the charter boat contact details, but we just booked when we got there.

You would be very lucky to catch Barra in July ive been a regular to Karumba for some years and NEVER caught a Barra in July,
Mostly Grunter Bream,King Salmon,Spanish Mac,is what you could expect there at that time.
Good Fishin, Lots of Luck.

DJPatrol is dead right about Barra in July. Our annual trip to the NT this year was delayed till june because of work and water temps were below 25c - very very few barra on the chew. We usually go when they are up around 32c. But more generally, although I've been to Karumba (I'm not a regular) on the occassions I've been there I have the impression that the barra have been flogged pretty hard. You will get blue salmon, the odd king salmon, grunter bream (javelin fish) and if lucky a black jew. All are great eating. The charter guys I saw up there mainly chased salmon and grunter for guys like yrself and your son would be pretty chuffed if he was lucky enough to pull in an 800 king!

when we were there a couple of years ago in addition to daily fishing we went on a night cruise spotlighting crocks...we were amazed how many there were and how close to town your son might like this as much as we did....just a thought.

Thanks for all the help.
Looks like everybody goes fishing.
