Barra from Brisbane

[stevelcqld]

Hey

I live in Brisvegas and looking to go Barra chasing with my boat on a weekend.

Looking for suggestions of the closest "good" barra spots close to Brisbane.

New to barra so any advice along those lines would be good as well..

Cheers,

I understand you can target salty barra in the Susan and Mary Rivers, as well as the Sandy Straits, you might be pushed to make the trip to River Heads in 3 hrs though. Other than that, its a good 4hrs to Monduran for some impoundment barra.

I think the nearest Breeding population to Brissy is in the Mary River ...... so that for my way of thinking is the logical starting point .

burrum river system just past howard can be good, bit further than the mary but once youve fished this massive system you ll understand its worth the drive. The township of buxton is a good starting spot.

We have done it in day trips on more than one occasion but remember to always be safe and if you get tired after fishing in the sun all day have a sleep.

If people keep hitting the Mary pretty hard like i heard they have been i dont think it will stay a breeding population for long. I hope they are polite enough to catch & preserve the fish there.

dont bother targting them till ya get north of hervey bay. the bli bli barra park would be the closest spot where you can get a few.
