You have to be joking, Tony....No metre barra yet????? But then whykickacatalong can't manage one, either......... [smiley=end.gif]Originally Posted by TonyM
Nahh Bob - there has to be at least one tree around the Dam
Just kiddingYou've caught enough metre + Barra to be on the executive of the Metre club I reckon
I haven't got my metre fish yet (my pb is only 93) although I didn't have an impoundment boat until recently so watch this space
Am off to Monduran in a few weeks and I know how to get em so mightn't be too long now
haha No Bob not yet mate
I imagine I'd have gotten one by now if I didn't find trolling so boring (I really do fall asleep trolling). When I get my big girl it will be in amongst the snags, and I'm sure there's a good chance I'll lose a few more big ones before I get there.

Was almost there....got a 91 cm then 40 min later got another big one, got her in the boat and on top of the esky to measure. I was at the tail end and looking at 106cm.. then mate goes " slide 'er forward mabo"....damn 96cm. Funny thing was the 91 went way harder than the 96. Both caught and released in the Roper River, NT Gulf country, nice yellow fin salty fish.
Cheers,
mabo.
no but i plan to soon going up to awoonga in the first week of november
hopeing to join the club..................?

Just got back from Awoonga, our best was 108cm. We heard in the camp the next day that on the same night (sunday) a Barra was caught and released that topped 148cm !!! I didnt see it, or know who caught it, but that was the talk in the camp at Willowgrove. Have to say as a first timer to that place that there are certainly some BIG fish lurking in that dam and without a doubt, I'll be going back.
Cheers

I'll bet that Al is a tad jealous....if he is game enough to see decent barra, hey?? [smiley=oops.gif]
Shooting deer in a zoo!! how many zoo's are the size of awoonga or monduran. Then put the deer under water and try to find them to shoot them.......well you get the idea!! if old mate thinks its that easy, try going up in winter and catching them. DEER me it's not that easy!!! (now that was bad!).
Here is a 118cm fish called rudolph.
I think a wild caught saltwater barra at 120cm is worth a freshwater at 130cm? should there be different classes, as I've caught saltwater at 120cm and freshwater to 118cm.
Never caught a Barra let alone one a metre long!
Caught a KG Whiting 72CM long off Tumby Bay once
I’m yet to qualify, I’m 3cm too short. I do like Mylestom idea, a metre long barra from each impoundment is a good target to set yourself. If you get that you deserve a trophy more than a sticker.
Good fish folks, its great to start a topic and see where it goes.
Just back from Monduran no metre barra this trip. Small ones around the 75cm mark and quite a few bass up around the 50cm. But the water still a bit cold and a bit windy.

Fish for the future, enjoy the present but think of your children.
I'm in - but Trev (Awoonga) will have to vouch for my credentials. I didn't have the brag mat on my boat.
first trip too - i was very happy with myself
