Love it or hate it
It is gorgeous!
It isn’t tidal
Only 90 minutes away
But the fishing is… very difficult
Houseboating there is something everyone should do. But fishing is pretty tough going.
Note only plastics allowed.
Get to the mouth of the Adelaide from here.
Need about 3m to get out of the creek, but the ramp is useful even lower than that.
About 100 minutes travel time, depending on how bad the corrugation is.
Lots of good boat ramps in the harbour, the two best are Dinah Beach and the Palmerston one, which are basically accessible at all tides.
Check out the government website
Although when it comes to Channel Island Boat ramp keep in mind they are LYING and I have emailed them to tell them otherwise. You need about 3m to access it, 3.5 to do it comfortably. You want around 5 to be protected from the breakwall. And importantly, when the tide is coming in, and the wind is in the right direction, you are being blown directly against the shore. Not so bad if you have enough water, but I smashed my transducer thinking I could get out with 2.5m given the website says “most tides”. Also I emailed them, they said they would change it, which they have not.
The harbour is generally overfished, especially for deep water fish like Golden Snapper. You won’t get as much here as if you travel, but of course it is so close….
Heaps of different ways to fish and launch from Bynoe Harbour. I use six pack creek, which is 1 hour 35 from Darwin. People will say it is more, they are wrong. Google maps just has it REALLY badly. You need about 3 metres of water to launch and it is about 90 minutes behind
A place of endless possibilities, any type of fishing you like, you can generally find.
