Lucky Prize Pool

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 20 red-tagged fish were recaptured in Season 8 and more than 90 prized fish have been claimed since the comp began in 2015, but the elusive Million Dollar Fish is yet to be reeled in by one lucky fisho.

There are now 80+ red-tagged fish worth $1 million in Top End waterways, plus:

  • Less than 20 x 10,000 tagged barramundi
  • Goodies as part of the Lucky Prize Pool

Fishos, it's the last month of Season 9! That means that this month is the FINAL Prize Pool for Season 9 🀯😭🚨

So, get in quick before these stellar prizes swim away πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŸWe were hoping the map we shared last week would tip the scales in your favour, fishos. But it seems you need even more help to bag a million bucks, so here you go.

On Friday we upgraded another 18 $10k barra into million-dollar beauties (so there are now a massive 60 barra worth a mill).

This map shows the locations of where they were originally released.

Here's some more tips to help you catch the BIG one πŸ˜‚ 🐟:
πŸ‘‰ Tip 1 - Don't have a boat? Use your Territory Tourism Discount and get 25% off a fishing charter with a Tourism Top End accredited fishing guide
πŸ‘‰ Tip 2 - Need better fishing gear? @craigsfishingwarehouse will sort you out
πŸ‘‰ Tip 3 - Register for Million Dollar Fish now! Don't get caught lacking this season. To win the million you MUST be registered.

With 60 chances to reel in the mill and heaps of locations now laid bare, your odds of becoming a millionaire have never been better.

So, gather your fishing crew and hit the waters this week.
