    Hervey Bay Barra

    Can anyone give me the inside word on where and what tide to find Barra in the Great Sandy Strait. I have recently seen the video with Bargy catching Barra and I am dying to have a crack.

    Giddy, Black Pig, I personally prefer a low tide at sunset, when all the bait are out of the mangroves, and the barra know it! If your in the right area you will hear them boofing. More barra in the straights than people realize ! This one caught in April just on dark, a few years ago.

    There are quite a few Barra up there but a fair bit of water between fish. Look for the type of structure that would hold Barra such as headlands, rock bars or creek mouths.
    I have only chased them once a few years ago and came away with this 100cm beauty. The pic background should give some hint as to the area

    Sugar mill in the Mary river, mouth of the Susan and on the Northern side of Stewart Island I have caught Barra on live poddy's and Halco Scorpion lures in the orange/gold 3.5 m diver.
