ST. CLOUD, Fla. — For some anglers in St. Cloud, a fishing trip can feel more like a journey halfway around the world.

At Osceola Outback Adventures, anglers are reeling in a unique Australian species not typically found in Florida waters — the barramundi — which has drawn in curious fishermen looking for something beyond the usual bass.

It’s not your typical Florida fishing trip, though. There is no boat to step aboard.

Instead, anglers hop on four-wheelers to reach remote ponds where the fish are biting, creating a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience.

“Only place you can go to get them here in the United States without flying all the way to Australia to get one,” said guide Mike Headley.

Headley leads guests to ponds stocked with exotic fish, giving anglers the rare chance to catch something normally found halfway across the globe.

“If I can add a couple exotic fish to my resume, I’m not never going to be mad,” said Jaicob Huffman, a fisherman visiting from Kentucky.

Huffman and his friends made the trip specifically to target barramundi after seeing videos online.

Known for their aggressive fight and size, the fish offer a unique challenge.

“Just the species that he has down here, the land Down Under,” Huffman added.

About an hour into their trip, the group began reeling them in — one after another — stopping to snap photos along the way.

“They’ve come from England, you know, the UK, they come from Japan and Australia,” Headley said. “I’ve had people come from Australia to come here and fish for them.”

Barramundi, also known as Asian sea bass, can grow between 60 and 100 pounds and stretch up to 6 feet long.

The property features nine ponds — three are stocked with barramundi and others with peacock bass.

Guides circulate throughout the area, helping anglers with bait, tackle and technique.

“There’s been a decent one cruising here this morning,” Headley said while assisting fishermen.

While the experience is catch and release, the fish itself is prized worldwide as a premium white fish known for its mild, buttery flavor.

“It’s just kind of a bucket list type thing,” Headley said. “People just want to catch one to say they’ve caught one, you know?”
