What a blast! Arrived Sat 22nd, was stinkin hot while we set up camp, sweat drippn off us! # :-X
The weather arrived next with lots of grey and black clouds and wind. I swear it followed us all the way from N.S.W. :-/
Didn't deter us though and off we went to catch our first Barra. First session we got 2 to the net :D Those suckers go like missiles when you show em a lure and pull like nothin i've ever caught! Very addictive fish those Barra!
Weather didn't improve much for the rest of the week and cooled the water down, but just found a bay out of the wind and we seemed to find a fish or two. Averaged 2 & sometimes 3 fish per session although working hard for them, it kept us interested. :-X Although no big barra, our fish ranged from 71 to 76.5cms all week.
My 12 year old son scored his first Barra too , although only small #at 59.5 cms, he done really well to get it to the net from amongst the sticks with light gear. The smile on his face went ear to ear. 8-)
All said and done we really enjoyed ourselves, and will be back next year to have another crack at em.
All the best to Rob & Kelly while they find thier feet.
