Hi All,
Well, Talina sent me some pictures, and I think they are worth putting up on the site for all those barra fisherman.
Check em out.
This is a big cod that I pulled up on 6kg out at Bowling Green one afternoon - I can happily say that fortunately he swam away strongly.
On a trip up to Pormpuraaw, Cape York a few years back the boat we were traveling with called us over & showed us this beauty that they had found floating on the surface - After further inspection it was a 131cm Barra which had try to eat a 42cm Grunter & chocked on it. The barra was dead but the grunter was still breathing which suggest it had only just happened - Proof shows that the lures & bait we use is to small!!! (2 x photos with this)
Just a average size Pormuraaw barra - We caught 106 of these in 7 days between 2 of us!! - not a bad trip at all!
Casino Wall Barra - On a calm night we quite often troll the walls around the harbour - I caught his 102cm beauty right in front of Jupiters Casino (lights in the back ground)
Holroyd River (Just South of Arakuun) -We caught this one on a late afternoon trolling session on one of the several deep banks in the Holroyd.
