WHEN a Queensland paper published a picture of a local bloke with a 118cm barra from Lake Tinaroo, they probably should have checked the background a bit more closely.
As well as the normal sounder, lures and rods and reels, the lucky angler appears to have packed a slightly less conventional piece of fishing equipment.
Could this quality barra catch have been helped by the use of some special technology? Source: Supplied
Social media has been buzzing about the secret fishing weapon.
We consulted a barramundi fishing expert, who suggested the mystery equipment could be used to simulate the sounds of schooling baitfish and attract predatory fish to the area.
“Perhaps it makes a bubbling sound which simulates schooling baitfish,” he said.
“This would in turn attract larger predators like big barra to the area.”
