Fish the NT.

It’s no secret the Northern Territory is home to some of the best fishing in Australia. For this season of Million Dollar Fish, we released more than 100 prize-tagged barra into five incredible fishing regions, Darwin, Kakadu, Arnhem Land, Katherine and the Tiwi Islands.

A total of 9 red-tagged fish were recaptured in Season 9, including the elusive red tag worth $1,000,000.

All of Season 1 – 9 red-tagged fish have ceased to be active after the extended season ended on 30 April.

You must re-register for each new season. To find out about Million Dollar Fish Season 10 sign up to our mailing list.
