Amazing experience!! - Had the most amazing day!!! Amos, Charlie, Bailey and Alex are the best fishing crew. We started off with lunch and you’ll never taste a better Barra and chips; it was cooked to perfection and one of the best meals in FNQ. The fishing experience was amazing and the guys have all the patients and are your biggest cheerleaders just wanting everyone to catch a Barra and have a great day. We highly recommend checking out Hook A Barra you will not be disappointed.

Do it! - We had a wonderful time trying to catch a trophy fish and then actually catching several active teenagers. They put up a real good fight. Steve kept our lives in the water and it's a great photographer too!

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.
