If you know, you know… Runoff Season in the NT is the time of year every fisho dreams about. The rivers are alive, the barra are on the bite, and every cast could be the one that lands you a metery.
But here’s the kicker: if you’re thinking of jumping on a Darwin fishing charter for the 2026 Runoff, you’ve gotta lock it in early with JUST DOON IT or risk missing out while everyone else is reeling in trophy barramundi.
🌊 Why the Runoff is a Fisho’s Dream
When the Wet season eases off, floodplains drain into the rivers, and the barra go into feeding overdrive. Imagine every cast holding the chance of a trophy fish. This is why fishos from all over the world call it the ultimate barramundi fishing season!
It’s fast, it’s wild, and it’s where bragging rights are won. The Runoff is a full-on NT experience you’ll never forget.
🎣 Your shot at a monster
Runoff barra are big, aggressive, and ready to test your gear (and your bragging rights).
This year alone we’ve landed a monster metery and a solid 97cm barra!
Whether it’s your first time chasing them or you’re back for another crack, this is where PBs get broken.
🗓 Why You Can’t Leave It Too Late
Here’s the thing: The best tides and weekends vanish first. Our regulars already know the game, and they’ve got their dates locked in early. Add in fishing comps and a rush of new bookings, and suddenly the season’s packed tighter than a barra in a snag.
So if you’ve been thinking about it—DON’T. Just Doon It.
