Title – Barramundi Fishing
Date – August 1998
Location - Northern Territories - Australia
Fishing is seen by many as boring and dull, sitting by the side of a river or lake for hours on end with nothing happening.
Others will say that there is nothing more relaxing then enjoying your environment and that it’s the only way to see all the wildlife that surrounds you.
Barramundi fishing in the Northern Territories is an experience that makes those people who think fishing is dull sit up and take note. Known for jumping as soon as you hook them and thrashing out of the water in the classic ‘blue marlin’ fashion, the barramundi reach serious sizes of over 60kg (130lb). That’s not the only challenge, when fishing from the bank you have to pay particular attention to logs that can turn into crocodiles; and having hooked a ‘Barra’ you have to get them in before the crocs catch up and enjoy a free dinner at your expense. You wouldn’t be the first person to suddenly loose the tension in your line, only to find nothing but the barramundi’s head on the line and a contented ‘big tooth’ chewing and diving in the background.
Beyond The Blue was set up with the following principle in mind, we wanted to help individuals predict the unexpected and act before it effected them in an adverse manner. To eliminate the phrase ‘it came out of the blue’ and see ‘Beyond The Blue’.
Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop helps people to prepare themselves for the unexpected.
