We fish the immense estuaries and extensive river systems of the George Water and the Glenelg River, both of which have reputations for 'Big barra'. These two systems are also home to many species of estuary fish including Mangrove Jack, Fingermark and the prized barramundi. No moment is spared without a line in the water!
