Some locations shown may border or include private property. Always check property boundaries and applicable regulations before visiting. onWater's Public & Private Land layer can help you plan your access with confidence.

Productive areas include the deep pools at the base of sandstone gorges, where barramundi hold in cooler, oxygenated water. The confluence of the George River with its major tributaries often creates nutrient-rich zones that attract baitfish and predators. Areas with significant submerged timber, such as sunken trees and log jams, are classic barramundi ambush points. Rocky points and ledges that drop into deeper water are also key locations to target.
