Darwin, Barra fishing day tour recommendations . Kakadu


Recommended Posts

Would not recommend this guy. My bro did a 3 day live aboard with him in 2015. Trolled for 3 days for nothing, but one guy in the boat got a hit and landed a 1m barra. The charter operator uses social media well and gets a lot of big barra but fishes very hard for them and his customer service seems to be lacking.

Barra can be hit and miss. I have lived in the NT for 7-8 years, Jabiru, Katherine, Darwin @ various times. Fished all the usual spots and some not so usual - got some good fish. Once I went to this billabong down near Bestwick / Barunga - mate worked with the traditional owners, so we could get in - it looked like Barra uber paradise. Well I flicked a lure off these rocks, into where the billabong drained into a fast flowing creek, for like 4 hours. Then my mates girlfriend chucks the most pathetic first cast into the same spot I had been casting into - 10-15m away - and bags like a 1m barra first go. Went out from Timber Creek once, in a roof top tinny, .357 in the tackle box, crocs bloody everywhere - the other 2 guys nailed barra after barra - I got SFA. Good luck! A reef fishing charter will give you a greater % of success. Hand lining Spanish mackerel and big queenies is pretty cool.

That is my experience as well. Barra are a lot like a decent sized mulloway in SA. You can do everything right but still not catch one. I've caught heaps of Barra, but not one legal one yet after 2 years up here. I call barra 'unicorns'.
