    Default Show Me the Barra!

    With the barra season about to open tomorrow, is anyone planning on heading out and looking for a few?

    Pretty ordinary conditions for boating up here at the moment. Wind is gusting up over 20 knots combined with plenty of showers throughout the day and night.

    Maybe somewhere landbased is still worth a shot.........

    Cheers,
    Roo.

    I had a flick at a spot (landbased) where I've caught jack before a few days ago and picked up 5 barra. I was very surprised to say the least.

    That's a shame, hope the Jacks come back soon
