barra a little hard to tempt

[snake]

Hi all,

Just a quick report from a solo trip on sunday. With the great weather at the end of last week i was hearing good reports of barra and with a good weather forecast i thought i'd hit some exposed flats for a fish. On a 6:30am arrival i was greeted by 10-15's, bugger. Headed up a nearby creek for a snag bash. Hopes were high as 2 weeks earlier a mate and i cleaned up in the same area, managed to find a heap of greenbacks in the mouth of the creek and pulled a 60cm from below them on the 3rd cast, i then pulled the hooks on a solid fish and the fish shutdown. I worked my way up stream accounting for 5 jacks to 41cm and eventually found some barra stacked up on a snag but only managed 4 rats before they shutdown. There were a heap of little GT's, Queenies, cod and barracuda keeping me busy too. It was a strange day in the creek as snags that have produced in the past and some that would just have to hold fish drew a blank but others that were just one stick would produce and they didn't seem to be necessarily holding deep or shallow, there was no pattern at all but i guess thats why it's called fishing not catching.
