From Port Douglas: Barramundi Pond Fishing with Lunch

Lure and Land one of Australia's favourite fish. Hook-A-Barra fishing is dedicated to all things Barramundi! We’re for fishing and fun, guiding and teaching, tasting and tempting. Our Barramundi facility is first class and includes viewing tanks, home to some rare Albino, Speckled (or Panda) and Gold Barramundi, fishing ponds, covered tables and seating. We love Barramundi. Growing them, catching them, selling them and eating them. Our Daintree Barramundi fishing tours include 1-hour of catch and release, land-based fishing, around our earthen ponds. Although it’s called the Barra Pond, there’s a few other species in there too, including some monster Mangrove Jacks. Our fish – they’re big – including quite a few which are up to and over 1 metre and while they’re farm raised, they’re still wild creatures with plenty of fight. When there’s ‘Fish On’ get ready for jumping, popping, kick flips and dorsal smashing. Our Daintree Barramundi fishing tours are fun and informative. Whether you’re 5 or 95, we’ll get you hooked with our friendly crew here to lend a helping hand if needed.

Whether you’re a fishing pro or an absolute beginner, you'll love learning how to lure and land the iconic Australian barramundi.

My 12 year old grandson absolutely LOVED this activity. To catch 3 big Barramundi was such a highlight for him. And I enjoyed it too ! Even reeled a couple in myself 😊 The guides (Leigh and Steve) were so friendly and helpful and obviously very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Thanks

Had a great day! Our guide Adam was awesome and it was a definite must do. All the staff were so helpful, and showed us some great tips and tricks for catching barra. Highly recommend as part of your trip to cairns or port douglas and do the tour, even my teenage boys enjoyed it!

I can highly recommend this activity if you are keen on anykind of fishing! Lunch was really good! Me and my son caught 6 fish alltogether. And special thanks to Michael, our guide and driver. He was very good telling about the hatchery and other things around the place.

So much fun, great experience from the moment we arrived. Staff were super friendly, happy & well informed. Would recommend Catch a Barra for all levels of experience. Don’t forget to try the Barra, would highly recommend the fish taco.
