The Trip Was GREAT!!!
We were really happy with our Guide Jacko. Callum didn’t have much experience fishing & Jacko helped him with tying knots etc. this let Dave & I fish on. The accommodation & meals were excellent along with the lunches on the boat. Accommodation in Darwin was good. No issues with our limo transfers either – he made contact to confirm flight arrivals.
Thank you for organising everything. Your responses to our queries were quick turnaround. We had a great time!

Amazing Shady Camp trip for me and the boys
Just wanted to thank you Phil for organising such an amazing Shady Camp trip for me and the boys, everything went off with out a hitch!
The guides ‘Jacko & Jesse’ were top notch putting us onto some great Barra fishing, some as big as 90cm to 104cm.
Accommodation, meals and everything else was spot on, we were so impressed that we want to book again with you next year, possibly for Melville Island.
The Glen Urquart Six, Narrara NSW, March 2024
Thank you Phil & Jacko for another fantastic fishing experience.
We, Robert and Warren, are repeat customers of Phil’s Barra tours having been three times previously and as always, we have the time of our lives!
We fished Shady Camp again this year and as usual everything went like
clockwork, the Barra were playing hard to get but our guide Jacko was like a
hound dog, he sniffed out Barra for us on days when other boats caught
nothing!
My brother Shaun was a first timer and caught his first Barra and thread
fin salmon, he now can’t wait to do it all again so we have rebooked with
Phil’s Barra Tours, for March 2024.

Magic Trip
Our March 2023,Cairns Barra fishing experience with your guide William,”
the Fish Hunter” was Magic and Will’s knowledge and assistance helped us beginners immensely.
This photo of my son Ryan shows just one of the 8 Barra he caught on our first day, Thank you Phil for organising everything, it was a perfect trip !

I’ll Be Back
Thank you Phil for your great arrangements and organisation!
We 3 ladies had a great time fishing Leaders Creek and the Vernon Islands with Peter and staying on the Mother ship.
He was a perfect guide, host & chef, the food and accommodation was excellent!
Pity about the big tide and water temp slowing the Barra down but still great fishing for other species including some fantastic Muddies.
To coin a famous Hollywood phrase “ I’ll be back”!!

Fantastic Guide
Thanks Phil for arranging a great trip, our guide Peter was fantastic, the mother ship very comfortable and his wife Terri an awesome host, the food was excellent!
As for the fishing both my son Toby and I caught a wide variety including some magnificent big Barramundi.

Mother-ship Magic
Another fantastic fishing experience organised by Phil’s Barra Tours
We Fished Shady Camp & Tommy Cut Creek. With Barra & Threadfin on the bite provided us with some quality fish. Staying on a Mother Ship was great as we were fishing as soon as we hit the water. No travel time, or boat
launching to worry about !!
Thanks Phil for a great trip !!!

Clockwork Organisation
Thanks Phil’s Barra Tours for all the clockwork organisation, we had a
fantastic time, caught Barra and several other species. Our allocated
Fishing guide Darryl from Fishtales Sports fishing was great, nothing was a
problem to him!
I will seriously look at a Darwin Barra Tour with you next year Phil and
thanks again for this one.

Couldn’t Be Happier
Having fished with my buddies for almost 40 years , we always said “one day we will have to head north on a Barra tour”. Having just returned from our second tour arranged through Phil Weidemier of Phil’s Affordable Barra Tours, I can’t stress enough to fellow fisho’s, don’t wait, get yourself on Phil’s website and book a trip.
Phil crafted our tours around our specific desires and made every effort to ensure our trip was the best it could possibly be. Our “custom trip” included options not advertised in a standard tour itinerary, but Phil accommodated our preferences and we couldn’t be happier.
