Barra Moment

[Harro1]

A couple of weeks ago i went down the creek after school and casted at a snag and got a hit straight away and the few casts later hooked the fella it was a cuda and next couple of cast brought nothing then half way through the retrieve ZZZZZZZ!!! My light reel screamed and i grabbed the spool in desperation to stop it from going further under the snag but the hooks dropped so a few cast later i got another cuda so i moved on and i had casted twice then another loud ZZZZZZ! and then i saw a flash of silver and it done a head shake and the hooks fell so i casted again nothing, then the next cast i felt a bump so i slowed down abit and then ZZZZZZZZ! it was heading up the creek so i grabbed the spool and it jumped and then swam back down stream and i turned its head and it was tiring and i had gotten it to its side and i had to just guide it over a sumerged log when the hooks dropped! Wasn't i kicking my self but i couldn't believe i hooked a winter barra! But yesterday I went down to the same spot and was rewarded with only a small barra but its still promising for the barra to be still biting. A fished using a prawnstar lure and the barra hit it but missed the hooks so i tied on a 3' atomic prong and got him.
