jeff,
you dont have to go up there to get your first barra, there is plenty of good one's here. go troll the harbour rock walls or go over inside the cape anywhere from the ross right around but fish shallow, 1-2mtrs with live bait or flick & troll lures & get up to the mangroves on a high tide, & troll the mouths when the tide is droping to the low.
