kick ass joel i hava been cleaning up alot there in the arvos, just use pellets thay are the gun bait there and you need a good flick rod to get your pellets out there and a reel with a good smooth drag (i know your combo kick but joel but im leting the ausfishers know) and you need good leaders (8-12lb) and good knots and it help to chuck a small hand full of pellet in to get them up then cast ontop of the boils and wait till u see you r line taking off and then hit them (but only when you see the line moving)

How much for entry please ?
Ray

[nuggstar]

it cost $30 for 3 hours $35 for 6 hours and $40 for the full day. i do think it is worth it, i would have to spend a lot more $$ to travel up north to catch them, and thay range in size from 43cm being the smallest i have seen and the biggest fish in the 120-125cm mark, so there is some big ones in there. there a monster in the mixed spieces pond with a tag in her back, her name is bazza and if you land her you get $1000 prize

[nuggstar]

you can take one home put you have to pay $18kg so a 45-47cm barra will set you back about $25 they are salt water too so they are yummy

[rayken1938]

Thanks
Looks like a trip up there in the near future.

take your kids thay will love ya for it

Never fished with pellets. So you just put one on a hook? Do you use weight to help with casting? If not, I suspect my baitcaster might be useless.

Can someone explain this method of fishing to someone who knows nothing?

I'm interested in taking my wife. She has never managed to hook a barra and this seems my best chance. I want to keep her interested so she is prepared to keep getting out and camping at some of the dams.

Thanks, Norm C

gotta try that

Norm C yer your right you don't use any sinkers, the pellets just float around on the surface and the barra come up n smash them, the guys there will explain how to do it they are really good usually. And yer you'l definitely need a light spin rod take the baitcaster for ya hardbodies, they hit those too, just not as often.
cheers dan
