“I recently spent five days at Dhipirri Barra & Sport Fishing Lodge with my son, brother and nephew, it was hands down the best fishing trip I’ve ever been on.
From the moment we arrived, everything was spot on. The facilities are excellent, comfortable, well-maintained and perfectly set up for anglers.
The location itself is incredible, giving you access to some of the best Barra & blue water fishing you could ask for.
What really made the trip stand out, though, was our guide, Ryan. He was absolutely outstanding, knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He consistently put us onto big fish and made sure everyone in the group had an unforgettable experience, regardless of skill level.
Another highlight was the food! The chef Damien could walk into any restaurant in the world…..simply he is a genius.
Spending that time fishing together as a family made it even more special and Dhipirri delivered on every level. I couldn’t recommend it more highly and will definitely be back.”

Eastern Arnhem Land Mothership
One of the great things about a mothership expedition is each night you’ll be moored adjacent to the fishing grounds you are going to work the next day. A lot less time travelling equals more time fishing.
