Darwin Barra Fishing

Thinking of heading up to Darwin for a week over the school holidays. Can anyone suggest good operators for 1 day barra trips?

Speak to George in the tackle shop

He recommended an old guy who both fly and lure fishes the Darwin Harbour out of a tinny - having spent a fortune with Ultimate Fishing Adventures ( read - unprofessional no hopers) I learnt and caught more in a day trip with the old guy than I did in over a week with the others. The cost was around $250 for the day by myself ....................oh and wander through Georges 'tackle shop - it is a treasure trove (it's right in Darwin itself).

A bit of God's country - and where do they get off serving half a cow as a standard meal - wrecks my waistline every time (what is the name of that restaurant in the back lane parallel to cavenagh street ?? Tims  ?? brilliant either way)

yeah go for a stroll through

yeah go for a stroll through Fishing and Outdoor, and if you can't make it to Tim's for tea go for lunch, you won't leave hungry. A quick stroll down Mitchell St will provide you with a heap of barra charter numbers, I have only been with Darwins Barra Base, they were ok but I don't think I'd go again.
