Bamurru Plains Fishing
The Top End of Australia is renowned for its spectacular coastal floodplains, billabongs and mangrove fringed tidal rivers that empty into the Arafura Sea. Each year in the 'wet season', usually January to March, the floodplains are replenished with the monsoonal rains and the flora, fauna and fish of the Top End spring to life.
In addition to its extraordinary natural beauty and prolific wildlife, this region boasts one of the worlds great sports fish, the mighty Barramundi, both in the river systems and in the 'run off' on the floodplains.
The prime fishing seasons are in February to May with the 'run off' as the fresh floodwaters from the 'wet' flow off the floodplains into the tidal river and creek channels and in October/November with the 'build up' to the wet.
Local fishing spots that are accessible from Bamurru Plains include Shady Camp, Corroboree Billabong and the Tommycut and Sampan Creeks.
River Fishing
Bamurru Plains is uniquely located on the lower reaches of the Sampan Creek with private access to the river on Swim Creek Station. The feeder creeks of the Sampan provide excellent fishing during the wet season months and huge barramundi are a regular catch. (Enquire for costs)
Floodplain Fishing
A highlight for any fisherman at Bamurru, however, is fishing on the Swim Creek floodplain by airboat. The camp's airboats are fitted with casting decks to maximise the experience of fishing the floodplain in spots that are accessible to camp guests only. (Enquire for costs)
