We are super excited to have access again to one of our old stomping grounds, the Arnhem Land Barra Camp on the Endyalgout Island. It’s been a few years since we have used the camp but we have been fishing area (Mini Mini System) on our Mothership Charters. With over 20 years in existence the Barra camp and the area is a well known Big Barra destination. We just love fishing this area and are sure you will also.

The Arnhemland Barra Camp

Situated on a shell grit beach are a combination of metal huts and bungalows, these are designed to catch the sea breezes and are fitted with comfortable bedding, fans & air-conditioners that ensure a good nights sleep after a hard days fishing and a meal of Barra and mud crabs. Each hut is setup for 2, 3 or 4 people,  single bed configurations depending on who’s at the camp at the time. Common areas include a substantial mess area with indoor and outdoor under cover dining and lounge areas. The kitchen is incorporated in this area. Flushing toilets and showers with great water pressure are in a separate building. It’s pretty unique to have a set up where you can land light aircraft a couple of minutes walk from camp and the boats are moored on the beach where the camp is situated. This certainly minimises any mucking around and maximises time spent fishing.

Darwin Harbour Fishing

We are blessed to have a harbour on our doorsteps that offers some great fishing charter options. Within 15 minutes from your hotel pickup you can be on the water and fishing. A normal day will see you on the water for around 7-7.5 hours. Times will vary depending on the tides. Depending on tides on our Darwin Harbour Fishing Charters there are a variety of options and species to target. On the bigger tides we will fish predominatly for Barra but also may mix up the day chasing some queenfish. On the smaller tides chasing long tail tuna and Mackerel comes into it’s own. We can advise what present the best fishing opportunities for you when you are looking at booking your trip.

Corroboree Billabong is one of our favorite fishing locations. A Corroboree Barra fishing trip calls for an  early morning departure from Darwin having you arriving at the billabong around sunrise.  Enjoy the spectacular sights of the Top End wildlife whilst fishing from our shaded custom-built fishing vessels. This is an opportunity to take on the challenge of fishing in the Top End.
