The icon of northern Australia — found in estuaries, rivers and impoundments across QLD, NT and northern WA. Targeted with hardbodies, soft plastics and live baits around snags, drains and rock bars; topwater fishing at first light is hard to beat. Closed seasons protect spawning fish — verify state rules.
Generally fished with medium tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
