My son and I had a great experience with Brian, both of us landing our first Barra. Brian was exceptionally helpful with techniques and made the effort to find the fish. Massive thanks to Brian for a tremendous day.

Had a brilliant day with Brian. He was great with my sons who learned a lot - and caught Barramundi as well. Couldn't be happier.

Brian gave us a great day - fishing was hard, but we got a barramundi. But more importantly - we had a great day on the river.
