Weipa & Princess Charlotte Bay

(Run off Barra Season) 5-7 days

about

Weipa,

Our run off season in Weipa begins in late April. we then operate through till the end of June. Weipa is the central hub where we pick guests up from and then travel to rivers north and south of Weipa, Archer river and Wenlock river. unlike the princess Charlotte bay trips we will travel the night before your trip to the rivers and return the night after the last day of fishing.

Princess Charlotte Bay,

situated on the north east coast of Queensland is home to some amazing floodplains that all lead to multiple rivers that make up Princess Charlotte Bay. During the run off season (after the monsoonal wet season) these rivers are full of Barramundi, Threadfin salmon, Mangrove Jack and large Mud Crabs. Not only is there amazing run off Barramundi fishing, the coastal islands are only a stones throw away where topwater GT fishing and jigging for Large Mouth Nannygai and Coral Trout are possible.

trip dates

Princess Charlotte Bay trips run through the month of April. We then take the operation around to Weipa, we then run our run off trips through till July. Weather dependant, this time of the year is our cyclone season, so travel insurance is a must when booking this trips. Refer to our calendar for our scheduled trips.
