Read on for our 2013 run off, and catch up with the 2015 information here
Chris Town (father) & his son Jack Town from Helen Springs Cattle Station central NT landed two beaut Meteries with Darwins Barra Base on 24th Jan 2013.
Jack (8) hooked and with the help of dad landed 110cm Barra and Dad not to be out done landed another lovely 107cm Barra at the mouth of Adelaide River with Darwins Barra Base Senior Guide Rob Foster.
GREAT NEWS - Our Fantastic Fishing will improve at least 5 fold with the proposed Closure Lines to Commercial Netters being banned from netting along the frontage of Shady Camp throughout Chambers Bay and Finke Bay. Imagine the number of Metre Plus Barra, King Salmon and Black Jewfish without Netters. We landed 32 metre Plus Barra in 2012 this should triple in 2013.

A testimonial from one of our many satisfied customers;
Thanks Ian and Darwin Barra Base for a great and successful fishing trip.
I have previously tried barra fishing twice before without success, but on my first day with you guys I caught a "103cm" barra, on the second day I caught a "112 cm " barra and then several smaller barras on the other days.
Thanks again for a great time and I will certainly be recommending Darwin Barra Base to my friends
