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.

The airport is about a 15-minute drive from the centre of town. Car hire is available from the counters close to the baggage carousels. There are also plenty of taxis available at the airport cab rank and private transfers can be pre-booked.
Darwin can also be reached by The Ghan, from Adelaide or Alice Springs, with trains arriving weekly on Tuesdays. While the rail station is situated a short drive from the city centre, free transfers are offered to all passengers.
For those driving there are a number of entry ways to access Darwin. Most roads are sealed however some are for the more adventurous 4 wheel drivers. If you are coming from Queensland the best route to take is the Overlander’s Way / Barkly Highway from Mt Isa. If you are leaving from Cairns you can take the Savannah Way which is a rugged, unsealed road which crosses the top of Australia from Cairns to Broome. You can also use the Savannah Way as an access from Western Australia. Other roads leading from WA to Darwin include the Tanami Road that runs across the Tanami Desert and to the north the Butine Highway. The drive from South Australia is especially scenic as you follow the Explorer’s Way through Coober Pedy and past the major centres of Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Katherine before arriving in Darwin.
