wet and windy hinchinbrook trip

[snake]

just a quick report, went around the top end of hinchinbrook and flicked a few lures inbetween the rain. had a good session managing to land 3 jacks and 13 barra, best jack went 42 and 6 legal barra with the best going 65. we lost a number of good fish, taking 4 or 5 lures with them.

Some nice Barra and jacks Jake,

i miss the hinchenbrook area alot and townsville in general. The barra fishing over the next few yars is going to be awesome with such a big flush and constant rain not to mention the bara farm up there flooding and loosing alot of barra.

Seems the DOA prawn did the most of the damage

Good fish there. I understand that there is plenty of barra around Cardwell since the barra farm flooded.

i've heard of some huge numbers of them farm fish caught in a day, also heard reports about good numbers of wild fish. all of our fish came from the missionary bay area so at the moment they're still all wild fish. if anyone from down south wants to fish hinchinbrook, this year would be a good one to go.

them doa's are dynamite in the right conditions.

they'll still be there in june, but you might have to work a bit harder for them. tip for winter barra is that they'll be sitting in shallower(warmer) water and the best bite period will usually be in the arvo when its a little warmer.
