Was in two minds whether or not too post as am pretty excited about saturday arvo session. Thought only fair too share. landed 2 baby barra 48cm and missed another 30 odd strikes at least, no exaggeration....... its been 2 yrs since i have fished there, since my hornet was stolen, it is still like you are fishing in the top end billabong. Using lge hollow bellies with weighted worm hook. Really got our striking polished , how ever was so frustrating the misses .Think barra werent really inhaling lge lure. Had been fishing salt that morning and didnt have smaller plastic just 1 packet of hollows and a few old slick rigs. Could see barra pushing up on lure then bow wave then smack ... strike .. miss.. aargh. awesome 2 hr session before sunset. have photo wife will sort out for me later. It was like you see on those fishing dvds. Tried heaps of other lures but they all would foul on lilys and weed. Ranger said first he has heard of barra being encountered for a long time. Head back in 3 weeks, hopefully increase strike rate and size...Cant stop smiling like a little kid.
Cheers Ethan....
