Well after nearly 2weeks of trying, casting trolling jigging, we have been unable to get another barra(see previous post) let alone one over 100cm. (I refuse to troll all night as most people are getting them that way) Ive decided that with the forecast over 20knots SE for the next week up here :( its time to head home. We have one more day of chasing barra with nearly decent weather so heres hoping.
We have fished a few other places like the toolooa bends/lillies and out towards the old meatworks jetty and caught a few fish, decent flathead, cod, trevally, big bream, barracuda and a few others, no more turtles tho luckily.
Went out the front of facing island up towards sable chief on saturday morning and scored some mac tuna again, and threw a few lures around gatcombe head on the way back for a nice cod which was filleted and dropped off at my fathers place.
Also had a look at the top of the calliope river in the fresh chasing sooties but the barred grunter were in plague proportions so no luck there.
All in all still a good trip and I cant wait to get up here again. Hopefully we will get some (or at least one barra please) tomorrow before we go. ;D ;D ;D
