Had a bit of fun yesterday during our prefish with a big big Mondy barrel girl that had me stitched up -----
we used the boat to pull a tree over ....... & I went for a swim trying to work out line direction ........ found the line ( cut & re join ) ......... only to cut the wrong place. We had half the fish in the net at one stage when she surfaced exhauseted - It was the longest fight I've had ( around 40 mins)

Chris

Chris, wow what a fight, so close.......yet so far! Trev said she was probably a 130 plus..That would have been an awesome story if you boated her. Damn Barra!

The most challenging fish in the world,

Cheers,

Matt

[matt fraser]

Geez, you've had some issues sticking 'em! Obviously those stingers are up to sh*t . Still not too bad an effort up north. Now you guys are back on home grounds, I hope you find your patterns working, your hook sticking, and your net being used to effect often!

I'll see you up there tomorrow, can't wait to swim a barra lure!

Matt

ps How good are the Taylor Boys? They are freaks! Well done to them on the Northern leg, can anyone stop them on the Southern Tour?

[Whitto]

Gee's I hope there's a bit of footage on that struggle Chris.......Best of luck to you both on the Southern leg's........Hopefully Karma will play a small part.......Nothing like home turf......Go get'em Boys......Whitto

Maybe 120 + ....... but really fat - her first jump was a cracker (unfortunately no footage of her ..... or the efforts to net her (I did have my still camera in hand trying to photograph her)

Congratulations to everyone on the tour, good post Brian.

I'd also like to congratulate a couple of friends, the Taylors who let us know how they went and i'm in awe. I predicted at Teemburra bream tactics might go well and won some cash nice work, but barra tactics & barra fisherman also did well and won both competitions.

Teemburra Comp

1st Place: Cy Taylor: 5/5 barra on first day, bagged out.
Second Day 5/5 Bagged out.
Total: 10 Barra.

5th Place: Kerrin Taylor: 4/5 first day.
4/5 second day.
Total: 8 Barra.

Team Total: 18 Barra for the Teemburra Competition.

Team Position: 1st.

--------------------------------

Peter Faust Competition

Results

1st: Cy Taylor
First Day: 5/5, Second Day: 4/5. Cy's Total: 9 Barra Caught

2nd Place: Kerrin Taylor
First Day: 5/5, Secon Day: 4/5. Kerrins Total: 9 Barra Caught

Team Total: 18 Barra Caught.

Barra caught in 2 comps = 36 Barramundi.

Northern Tour Champion Team: Taylor Brothers
Northern Tour Champion Angler: Cy Taylor


Well done fella's and well done Chris, Trev, Steve and anyone i missed i wish you all well on the southern tour.

I'm off to watch the cricket.
Go the Aussies.

P.S.
*This is a congratulations type of post wishing people well, please don't find anything to argue about. Others have wished mates well, now i am.

I just think we might be seeing something special with these fella's, that doesn't happen in each generation, so i'm not taking it or granted.


Doing Something Different
E.g. In the early 90's Kelly Slater did yoga, many would have canned him for it, then he went on to win 9 world champs and is considered the best of all time. Mick Fanning took up similar training and won his world championship (As shown on 60 minutes).


Taylors Must Be Doing Something Different

E.g. if someone 3 years ago said "Some teenagers will beat and go past every competition barra fishermans results in the ABT & AFC before they are 20 and win 3 titles in a row, rack up the most ABT barra wins and total prize money by 21 years of age" You would have been canned on the net & mainstream & ended up the butt of all jokes. But what happened? It did happen. Amazing stuff. Note: I realise there are 100 current and ex guides not fishing the comps, but the Taylors have still done really well in my book. Well done everyone competing and good luck

Cheers Lyndon
Go The Aussies In The Cricket It's good to see a few young fella's from the Cricket Acadamy go on to make it in to the Aussie First 11. I hope Hilfy & the rest of the crew go well.

Those boys are amazing, far and away better barra fishos than most, and consistant to boot. Anyone can have a good day, trip, season, year, but they just keep doing it.

Congrats gentlemen.

[Steve B]

Lyndon,

Too right....the Taylors are just awesome. Not much else to say. I think you are right..we are witnessing something special with these lads.

I just read the Awoonga results too....wow, what a comp!! pretty tough when you get a 5 for 5 mtrs plus bag and scrape into the top 10!!!!!!

Cheers Steve

[OverNover]

Good luck All, I'm heading up to Mondy for my 1st ABT event this weekend, in the amatuer ranks obviously, at the campground, look for the Silver D-Max Dual Cab. Not expecting too much, just having a crack, be stoked to get one in the boat.

PS - Thanx Trev & Matt for the tips, Soron combo is good to go and plenty of Hollow Bellies in the bag, Thanx for your help guys, Cheers, Jamie.
