Got back from Karumba yesterday after 3 days of fishing, caught over 50 barra in the three days.. My advise is the tides are perfect for barra over easter so just slow troll the outside corners of the river, you see all the boats.. Barra ranged from 50cm - 94cm our best, but lost some big big fish.. Saw 1 metery landed..

Sounds great!What sort of lures were you trolling?

[Spanish Hooker]

Really any lure with a 5m bib worked well, your trolling in 15-20ft of water at very slow speed so the 5m ones will get you in the zone.. If your just hitting the bottom every now and then its perfect, just take the motor out of gear if your going too quick and work that rod..
Good luck...
