[business class]

Hi Guys,
I'm only a new member and a first timer when it comes to fresh water fishing. Myself and a mate are heading up to awonga to try and catch our first Barra over easter, with prob half of SEQ . If anyone has been there in the last week and got any advice for us it would be much appreciated . Were fishing out of a 5.2m prowler so if anyones heading up there and see s us feel free to come have a Chat. Thank you

Matty

P.S Where going for C&R ONLY!!!!

Was up there last week and it was hard. 7 barra between 3 boats for 7 days. All but 1 fish came from the start of the Boyne. We were throwing 4" mad mullets in white with pink stripes. If the wind dies down a bit it will be easier to fish. Blew 25kn+ for the whole time we were up there.

Hey udlman, did you throw anything else other than mad mullets?
Any hbs?

The mad mullet is a hard bait made by lively lures. We threw a few slick rigs and tsunami's around without any success at all. Not even a bump or short strike.

We think it may be the profile of the MM that was working, as it is quite a deep bodied lure. Btw, they were the shallow diver as well.

We saw plenty of fish on the bottom in 40 - 50 ft of water, but couldn't get anything.

Even the catties were hard to get.

Hi.

I am a newbie. My account just got validated. I was at awonga 2 weeks ago. It was my first time there and I loved it, what a great place!! I caught an 80 cm barra on an f18 at pig creek. It was very tough fishing. I was chatting to a bloke who was in a group of 30 from a fishing club, they fished 4 days and landed only 3 fish amongst the group. I hope you have better luck. Shallow water seemed to be what everyone was recommending.
