"The guys at Fishabout have been awesome since we crossed paths in early 2012. After doing a couple of episodes with them barra fishing at Labelle Downs they've managed to organise some great destinations for the 2013 series.  They're good blokes who can provide you with a heap of advice if you're keen to do some fishing travel. This year they've got us venturing throughout the Pacific, with still plenty of local hotspots to look forward to. Whether fishing overseas, chasing Barra and more in Australia or simply covering what's on offer in and around Sydney, you cant go past Fishabout."

Barra and Bluewater in Cape York

The Quiver

Lockhart River is the jewel in the crown of Cape York Peninsula and is the northern most town on the east coast of Australia - remote and wild! Pristine beaches, great fishing, close proximity to the world-heritage listed Great Barrier Reef, bird watching, bush walking, World War Two relics and other attractions make it a place people want to experience. When the barra are on the bite it is wildly insane fishing! The untamed myriad of river systems and the adjacent untouched waters of the Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most exciting fishing opportunities in the world.
Every March/April, the 55ft Reel Chase & 34ft Saltaire Charter operations base themselves at the Lockhart River to take advantage of the wet season run off and to fish for the famous Barramundi amongst a host of others. The operation also has two tenders and two guides to assist you to explore and fish this incredible ecosystem.... see more

Endyalgout Island (Mini Mini)

Horse Barra

Fishabout is pleased to now offer remote fishing trips to Endyalgout Island, one of the best fishing locations in Australia.  (Nestled on the south east of the Coburg Penninsula).

Catch Huge PNG Black Bass
