Gday aus fishers!!
Just wanting to know which lake seems to be the better to fish!! As for barra im talking.....and how far is it away from Monduran Dam??? Size seems to be the go for Awoonga and more heavily stocked with Barra!! Any opinions on this one??
Bazza
They are fairly different dams I suggest ya have a look at both.Awonga is fairly open Monduran has dozens of inlets and lots of timber.
Bazza,
As far as barra are concerned Awoonga is by far the better dam more fish stocked in there compared to Monduran and plenty of bays with sticks along with some great creeks to fish in stay out of the main bowl of the dam will get far more fish in amongst the timbers will be up there myself the weekend of the 14th and 15th of Feb last trip up there a month a go a couple of mates of mine landed a couple of good fish. If you want to experience real Barra fishing go to Faust dam near proserpine my favourite spot of them all don't troll though get in amongst the timbers and get into some real unarmed combat real heart in the mouth stuff, hope you have a gret time and get a few fish.

Hey Bomber.. good to see ur still lurkingi might have to drop in at Monduran on my way back from Bundy if the weather and my boat is kind..
also might be going upto Faust next month, will have to work out the details more with Vertico.. im keen to battle a barra..
Tim
Well boys i made the decision to go to Faust just after i posted this....I cant wait will be fishing it saturday arvo you little beauty!! Tell me of your experiences there bomber!!
Bazzaman,
You will catch a mullion trolling but find this pretty boring if you troll near the buoy line at the wall at faust along with everyone else you will catch a Barra of all sizes saw quite a few meterys come out of this area around the comp time last year.
This to me though is a little boringg though, if you want a real experience head straight from the boat ramp to the timbers find the old creek beds and fish the edges in around 1 to 2 meters of water and hang on we were getting smashed more often than not useing 50 lb Bionic the lures I love to use for impoundment Barra and now use exclusively are Lively lures Arafuras in Bleeding mullet and also the Gold with the red stripe. Make sure you take plenty with you though I also use a 70 lb 10 x leader and make sure your taking good quality gear particularly if you are fishing the sticks if your trolling you can get away with most gear even saww a metery landed on a $40.00 combo trolling.
But be prepared to lose a few before boating one hope you have a good time, if in doubt go and talk to Lindsay or Jason at Prossie bait and Tackle very helpful guys who love to see and hear about people catching Barra in their local dam.
