Hi Allan, |
Hello Allan
I just wanted to drop you line on behalf of Graham and I on the absolutely superb day we had with you last week (18th November). For 2 guys who have never fished for Barra before, this was certainly one of the best fishing experiences ever! I never thought we would catch so many fish (over 30 in the one day was a surprise) and the size and fight these things put up were well worth the early morning start!
I have, as promised, mentioned you to our Travelscene American Express travel agency group members in this weeks newsletter, with hope that they will tell any of their clients about your business if venturing up to the Top End. Your hospitality, professionalism and experience made this a day we will never forget!
Thanks for all of your advice and we are sure to return again next year!
Regards
Damian

Thanks Sally.
The fishing trip was excellent. We caught 8 Barramundi - all large and of legal size. Another 8 or so got away. It was very exciting when someone hooked up.What I wasn't expecting was the dozens of crocodiles lying around and slinking past the boat. It was a bit scary at first and I wasn't really comfortable about them even by the end of the trip. There were just so many.
The host for the day - Tony - was excellent. Very pleasant person, good sense of humour, very safety conscious (except for slapping the water to attract crocodiles closer!!) and an excellent fisherman. The 4WD he picked us up in was clean, comfortable and a late model. The boat was well equipped, comfortable, clean and really good for fishing from.
I really couldn't fault the company in any area. I have already strongly recommended them to some friends and will continue to do so.
Very nice place, Darwin. We had a great time and the social activity basically went 24/7. Good to get home for a break after our little holiday!!!
The above was forwarded to us by Sally -see below
See the feedback I have just received from one of my clients who did a 1 Day Barramundi Fishing Trip with you, it's fantastic well done and thank you.

Barry and I fished with Tony on Sunday at Corroboree Billabong. We just want to give Tony a wrap for his efforts, his entertainment and guiding abilities. Sensational day for us and we will be back (soon). Thanks very much Tony! |
| Hi Allan, I was out fishing with you on Saturday last week and I might add, had a ball! I thoroughly enjoyed my day out on Coroboree Lagoon with you, the fellow players on the boat and my first Barra! I have been telling everyone proudly about my first barra and how much fun I had. Anyway, thanks again for a great day out and hopefully I will be up there again soon for some more fishing! Hopefully Run-off, (I'm sounding out some of the boys about it). Thanks! Allan Cummin |

"We traveled from Karatha W.A to Shady Camp especially to catch a Barra, and what a Barra that Allan Beale from Darwin’s Barra Base got us. Thanks mate for a fantastic days fishing and a trophy photo that we will cherish for a long time." Geoff & Erin H. 15 Feb 07 |

"It was a truly memorable day out, not only did Allan take us to places at Shady Camp that provided at least 2 Barra catches for each of the group - 90% of who had never been Barra fishing before! I had the added bonus of having the honour of joining the metre club - a sensational feeling of achievement. Everyone that was on the trip still talks about it as the best thing we have ever done together and now want to do a 2 - 3 day camp. Thanks again Allan for making it such a fantastic day and exceeding all our expectations." |

A truly unique NT experience. We caught our first Barra. and then you exceeded our expectations with your determination and professionalism in ensuring we had a very successful two day safari. We saw wonderful wetlands, birds, crocs and many more. We will be back to catch the bigger Barra during the Run Off and will recommend you to all our friends & future Barra hunters. Thank you Allan & Heather. |

Allan and Heather, thanks for an awesome week. The fishing was great and your hospitality was unbeatable. That big 95cm Barramundi was certainly one to remember! |
