Landing 120cm + Barramundi beauties is a trait that Darwin's Barra Base has grown its name and pride from in the last 6 years. We have landed either the biggest and or the second biggest guide chartered Barramundi in the NT in the last 6 years.

• 2005 - (12) largest 115 & 120cm;

60+LB Barra for Claire

129cm Barra from 2007

Bret Torosi landed this 140cm Barramundi

Paul Whitaker's 125cm Giant Barra

120cm Barramundi from Tommycut Creek

I do admit during these run off periods all these larger beautiful females have been landed at Shady Camp, in Sampan or Tommy cut Creeks and or the coastal creeks to Chamber's Bay or Finke Bay.

Darwin's Barra Base prides itself in delivering to you an awesome experience when completing our Extended Barra Run Off Fishing Safaris during spring tides, and if the wind blows like it did for Charlie McCallief Savage Seas Adventures (as witnessed by his DVD production) tremendous Barramundi Fishing is had during these spring tides up the top of Tommy Cut Creek and Sampan Creek. So no matter what the tide or the weather during the Run-Off Barramundi Fishing season everyone has a fantastic time.

Look for a fishing schedule that will give you the best chance of landing one of these magnificent fish.
