On Haggerstone Island we pride ourselves in offering a wide range of fishing experiences varying from river to reef. Every day we endeavour to tailor a different angling adventure for our guests, based on the wind, tide, season and preference. From casting for Bluefin tuna to reef fishing for Coral Trout, jigging the deeper water or lightweight Barramundi fishing, we aim for guests to enjoy the full range during their stay.

With knowledge of the area built from thirty years of experience we have the pleasure of guaranteeing an unparalleled fishing experience. Although we rely on our freshly caught seafood for meals we still maintain a high catch and release ration for the fish we don’t need. Some examples of the common species caught are Red Emperor, Large Mouth Nannygai, Coral Trout, Finger mark, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefin Tuna, Queen fish, Dog Tooth Tuna and Giant Trevally.
Haggerstone is fortunate enough to be situated next to a totally uninhabited stretch of the North Australian coastline. This gives us access to untouched river systems briming with excellent eating and sporting fish. The rivers are both beautiful and teeming with life - a great place to explore, fish and discover. Some examples of the common species caught are Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Fingermark and Estuarine Cod. Saratoga can also be targeted in the freshwater.
