Most excellent hour of fishing fun! - This one of the best things my 10yr old daughter and I did in FNQ. It was a super hot day and firstly the hook A Barra folks were happy for us to come first session though we'd booked for midday. She caught 4 in the smaller pond and then almost hauled in a big one in the trophy pond! I'd never used surface lures before but they showed me just the right technique. The guys were super friendly, helpful and ver easy going, making sure that we both enjoyed the experience thoroughly.

Get to Hook A Barra - Had a great day. The team were awesome with great tips on how to “Hook a Barra” Fished the whole lake and had multiple strikes before finally hooking up to a 80cm Barra. Got some great photos before releasing back to the pond. If you’re limited with time and don’t want to spend the whole day on a charter, Hook a Barra is the perfect place to get your fishing fix.

Fantastic Experience - A fantastic experience and wonderful knowledgable staff . Catching a huge Barra has been one of the highlights of visiting the FNQ with our English visitors.

Amazing - This was an amazing experience, the staff were so helpful and did their utmost to try and make sure you caught a Barra (youngest team member Flynn was awesome). Facilities and food were also great. The whole experience was informative and educational and wonderful fun.

Landing the big one and lots of fun! - I was so surprised that I caught such a large fish because I'm not much of a fisher! Once I got a bite, Flynn gave me excellent instructions on what to do to bring the barramundi in. I had lots of fun and would totally recommend this experience. All the staff are helpful and friendly.
